Item Description

This pen melds the modern and sleek aesthetic of the Concava Twist Pen combined with the warmth and tradition of inlayed wood veneers for the body.  The veneer inlays have a beautiful curvilinear arrangement akin to a modern work of art. The overall balance of the woods tends toward the lighter side on the colour palate. The sophistication and elegance of the veneered body is amplified by the 24kt gold plate hardware which also has a modern aesthetic. I provided numerous photos so you can see all the unique aspects of the beautiful veneers and appreciate the gorgeous hardware of the pen. It comes with a beautiful rosewood case for storage and display.  The pen measures 13.5 cm or just over 5.5 inches in length. The pen was hand crafted by John Baker on a lathe and finished with repeated thin coats of cyanoacrylate resulting in an extremely durable sheen. It comes in its own velveteen draw string pouch. It comes with an unmarked ink cartridge and takes easily obtained Cross R style Refills (.12" x 4 9/16").

This is a truly beautiful and sophisticated pen. Why not give a loved one a unique gift chosen just for their personality and hand made with love and skill to help bring the Mendoza4 home?
