Personalized fountain pen in Bocote wood.

This elegant fountain pen has been handcrafted using a highly detailed piece of bocote wood. The piece of wood chosen shows off the best aspects of the wood with the deep dark lines running through the yellowish - brown heartwood.

Both ends of this custom pen are fully closed making this a truly eye-catching wooden gift. The pictures don't do the detail in the wood justice. Life is too short to use an ugly pen'. You have a few choices here for your wood pen. You can make this even more special by turning it into a personalized pen and having a name engraved along the body of the pen. You have the choice of upgrading the nib to a german bock nib if wanted. Just message me the nib size you prefer in the notes. Ef, f, m or b. Colour: yellow, brown and black. Ink: the pen comes with an international converter to use your own bottled inks, and a cartridge to get you started straight out of the box.

The wooden pen also comes enclosed in a beautiful case providing the maximum presentation and also safely storing your fine writing instrument. This is a ooak pen and the wood on each has its unique grain patterns which cannot be replicated. This could be a special wooden anniversary gift for that important person in your life. As a 5th anniversary gift, you will have something both beautiful and functional to mark the special occasion.

Bocote, like its close relative ziricote, is a very beautiful wood with a unique appearance. The heartwood is an attractive yellowish-brown overlain with distinctive black lines giving the wood an active and striking figure. Subtle birdseye figures can appear and when quarter cut, bright ray flakes shimmer on the surface. Botanical considerations aside, appearance and workability are the properties desired by craftspeople.

Harvesting occurs mostly in mexico and other countries of central america. Some of the logging is done selectively with mules, which helps maintain a sustainable resource by avoiding clear-cutting.

A piece is of wood selected from seasoned stock for its grain and colour. Each piece is carefully cut to show the best grain. The wood is turned on the lathe to the desired design then sanded through 5 different grits of sandpaper. It is then rubbed with a beeswax mix before rounding off with a friction polish to provide a durable finish.
