This Broad Ballpoint has been handcrafted in my workshop at Welcome Creek, Queensland, using English Ash timber.
Each pen blank is carefully turned on the lathe, sanded smooth, and polished to reveal the natural grain of the wood.
No two pens are ever identical.
Durable Natural Finish
The pen is finished with multiple coats of Aussie Oil friction polish, producing a durable high-gloss finish while still allowing the warmth of natural timber to be felt in the hand.
Quality Components
The pen features Gold accents, chosen for both durability and style.
The Broad Ballpoint design provides a comfortable writing experience and a balanced feel.

Natural Fragrance & Texture: Raw ash has a light, clean scent and a moderately coarse texture that provides a secure, "grounding" grip for the writer.
-
Superior Durability: Renowned for its ability to absorb impact without splintering, making it a "hard-wearing" choice for an everyday carry pen.
-
A "Living" Patina: Over time, ash timber pens can develop a unique natural patina, darkening slightly and gaining character with us
