Americana Wood Twist Pen - Bocote and 24k Gold

Americana style pens, as my supplier puts it so well, "reflect the classic lines and distinctive style of pens made during America's golden age. Black accents on the cap and writing tip offer an elegant contrast. The smooth twist mechanism features a premium Swiss-made Parker style ballpoint refill with carbide writing tip for consistent ink flow."

They're available in 24-k gold as shown, or for added durability, 10-k gold, gold titanium, or rhodium. The pen shown is from Bocote, with a creamy brown color and wavy black stripes, making for striking contrast. Bocote is from a small tree native to Central and South America, sometimes called Mexican Rosewood. Because of its striking color and grain, it's popular for accents and turnings.

Other woods are also available. Price starts at $30 for 24-k gold finish.

Wood Pen: Bocote and Tactile Slimline

This Bocote and Tactile slimline pen is another pen I am very fond of. I deliberately matched the black Tactile components to the Bocote wood because of the black grain - I thought it would look cool and I was right. The black Tactile components of this pen feel almost like rubber, though it is a hard, durable finish.

Though bocote is supposed to have a creamy brown color with wavy black stripes, the color of the wood in this pen is a mustard yellow, making for striking contrast. Bocote is from a small tree native to Central and South America, sometimes called Mexican Rosewood. Because of its striking color and grain, it's popular for accents and turnings.

Price for this pen: $25.00
