A handmade Irish ballpoint pen, lovingly made from Irish Bog Oak. These wooden pens are hand turned to a comfortable design. Antique rose copper fittings have been used to show off the Bog Oak. The pictures don't do the detail in the wood justice. The pen is presented in its own box to finish the excellent presentation. The pen is a very comfortable width for writing and takes a standard size cross refill, which is easily bought when needed. About the process Blanks are selected from seasoned wood for their grain and colour. The wood is turned to size, sanded through 5 different grits of sandpaper. I then coat with sanding sealer to seal the woods grain before sanding this surface smooth again. Next i rub the wood with danish oil to bring out the wonderful colour before finishing
