Graduate Roller Ball Pen - Zebrawood

Pens were how I got my start in professional woodworking, about two decades ago.  A handmade pen is one of those wonderful alignments of stars where the craftsman’s skill and the natural beauty of the wood come together in a product that is gorgeous as a work of art and also has an eminently practical daily functionality.  It’s such a joy and satisfaction for me to hear from folks for whom I made pens years ago, letting me know they use their pen every day.  

This robust and handsome roller ball pen features 24k gold plating, a spring clip, and a magnetic pull-off cap. It uses Schmidt refill cartridges. This pen is made from zebrawood, a Central American hardwood known unique grain patterns. I turn it on the lathe, sand and buff to 4000 grit, and add several coats of finish for long-lasting durability.
