As is with my other cherry burl pens:
Extraordinarily time consuming, not to just craft with expertise & precision, but to log and mill entirely myself, cherry burl is a domestic wood that is usually considered to be in the same class as mahogany for usage in the United States (source: Bell Forest Products). It is a wood for fine furniture & luxury items. The stiff & strong wood has complex interwoven grain with incredible blue streaks to birdseye-like speckles. Black cherry is also prized for being “photoreactive” —in other words—it darkens with exposure to light. This the reason cherry is known for its dark reddish hue with age.

This pen is finished with my proprietary friction polish which is primarily composed of dewaxed shellac. After, it was polished with Bowling Alley paste wax for a feel and shine second to none.

Everything about this pen is handcrafted by me and carefully made so you get the most durable & aesthetically designed pen possible.

How It’s Made

This pen, in addition to all of my other black cherry burl pens is logged, sawn, and turned by me. From tree to you, it is all done by me. No sawmills; no large corporate distributors; no misleading marketing; no bulk manufacturing—each pen has been carefully selected and crafted to highlight its “personality” & unique qualities.

All pens are finished with my homemade friction polish (de-waxed shellac & boiled linseed oil) over which an acrylic lacquer is applied. The pens are then buffed with carnauba wax as a final touch giving it a luxurious feel & shine.
