Desert Ironwood Montague Twist Pen with Antique Pewter Hardware

Description

The design of this gorgeous pen is based on Venetian Gothic, a style originating in 14th century Venice and given to an architectural style combining use of the Gothic arch with Byzantine and Moorish architectural influences. The cap features bands of small pointed lancet arches flanking larger, more teardrop shaped Morish influenced arches. The pen tip also features the lancet arches while the pen top includes a quatrefoil window design. The body was hand turned on my lathe from Desert Ironwood, otherwise known as Olneya tesota, a species native to the Southwestern US and Northwestern Mexico. It is extremely hard and dense, with resistance to cutting making it somewhat difficult to work. It is highly prized in the knife making industry for it's stability and unique coloring. These pens use Parker style refills, which can be purchased at most any office supply store. To extend the tip for writing, simply twist the end that extends above the pocket clip. All of our pens placed in a Kraft Cardboard box and tied so they are ready to give as a gift! You can upgrade to a plastic gift box if you would like!
