A stunning premium twist pen hand turned from a beautiful piece of  Rosewood and adorned in high quality rhodium and titanium plate. Rhodium is considered the rarest and most valuable precious metal in the world – well above gold or silver.
Quite simply, a stunning pen.

A beautiful spalted walnut twist pen. Spalting is any form of wood coloration caused by fungi. Although primarily found in dead trees, spalting can also occur in living trees under stress.

The wood looks stained pink but it is in fact Purple Heart wood and pink is it’s natural colour. Goes well with this beautiful high end gold & platinum fountain pen.

From an old chair rescued from a skip comes fifty or so bottle corks, all individually engraved. Now that’s what i call up-cycling!

Another English Elm twist pen. I just love the grain and deep finish on this pen but sadly I have very little elm left.
