Item # 7 A Pen
Item 007 is a fountain pen. This pen is made of amazing spalted gum tree wood saved from the burn pile at my local sawmill. I added a couple of decorative rims to add drama to the already over the top grain pattern. The beautiful grain pattern glows through the cyanoacrylate (super glue) finish.
It turns out that the branch collars (the point where the branch meets the trunk) are not useful to the mill other than for firewood. It takes a bit of work, but you can refine this wood into many useful items, like this pen.
The pen measures 5 ½ inches long and 7/8 inch at the widest point. This unique writing instrument is polished with a mixture of beeswax and mineral oil. The ink cartridge can be accessed by unscrewing the fountain tip, which is currently filled with black ink.
