Homerton fountain pen in Buckeye Burl

Regular price £165.00

Tax included.

A beautiful unique one of a kind writing instrument

Handmade Fountain pen from Buckeye Burl, this is the natural colour of the wood, each piece is uniquely different and a favourite of mine. The Buckeye on this has some of the nicest grain patterns I have ever seen

Features a Sterling Silver "Tree of Life" rollstop

The wood has been stabalised and is fully lined with "Oil Slick" resin from Diamond Cast, the same material has been used for the section and threads

This pen is one of a kind, completely hand turned, including the grip / nib section and triple start thread. The use of this material is possible only through the complex and time intensive stabilisation process of the wood which is all done by myself in my workshop

This pen is fitted with a Polished steel Medium size 6 Bock nib. This pen can also take a Bock in the following platings, Bi Colour, Gold Plated or Polished Steel

I can supply the nibs in the following sizes, Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad and Extra Broad.

The refilling system is a Schmidt K5 premium ink converter, but can also utilise a standard international cartridge.

In awe

The Burl is just a beautiful pen to look at.. seeing the swirls, tones & hues within it is mesmerizing. Yet only rivaled by how well and comfy it is to hold and write with.
