Wood Slimline Twist Pen: Oregon Myrtlewood and 24k Gold

This hand-turned wood slimline twist pen is made from 24k gold Artisan pen parts and Oregon Myrtlewood. Oregon Myrtlewood, also called California Laurelwood, is a hardwood with a wide variety of colors depending on the minerals in the soil where it is grown - from light tan to dark brown, olives and reds, and blacks from spalting. It is noted as one of the world's most beautiful woods.

With this particular pen, I made it as plump as the pen clip would allow, as an experiment in form. This is the double-concave rounded edges form as thick and dramatic as you can take it. It's actually quite comfortable to hold, however, and the thickness is nice if you don't like really slender pens.

As with my other 24k gold Artisan Slimline pens, $25 for this pre-made pen. Order a matching pencil for a Pen and Pencil Set.
