This pen features a twist mechanism to extend and retract the tip and can be refilled with a Cross style ballpoint refill found in most department and office supply stores. If you are tired of using a plain looking pen in your home or office and want an affordable option that will really stand out, this is the pen for you! There is a beautiful contrast between the grain colors of the Cocobolo and the brushed satin or 24kt gold hardware. This pen also features a comfort grip to reduce fatigue over your long writing sessions.
I turned this pen in November of 2020 from a gorgeous Cocobolo blank. I turn all pens by hand on the lathe at my local maker space, Maker 13, in Jeffersonville, IN. I start with a large roughing gouge then move to a smaller tool once the wood blanks are round. Once the blank is the correct size I sand from 150 to 600 grit and finish the pens with a gloss wax and polish.
