Oak & Chrome Ballpoint Twist Pen

Price ~ £12


Sadly no picture of this pen. It was bought by a good friend as a gift for someone.

EUROPEAN OAK - Quercus robur

Usually straight-grained, the heartwood of European Oak varies in colour from light tan to brown. Quarter-sawn pieces show attractive flame figuring. The wood is fairly hard, heavy and dense, clean but with the occasional knot.  European Oak is a beautiful timber and with an oil finish, the grain will turn a deep golden brown.

Turned on July 5th 2014 from kiln dried European Oak on the busy towpath just past Lymm, turning mainly turned in to talking as families weekend walked around the towpaths of Lymm. This pen was finished in several coats of boiled linseed oil and cyanoacrylate to give a hard wearing deep gloss finish.
