Handmade by me in my own workshop with fantastic multicoloured pattern. Coconut wood produces a really unusual multicoloured grain pattern. Slimline pen, twist action ballpoint, option of black or blue ink. Gun metal fittings finished with wax and polished Shellac. Impressive grain pattern makes unique gift.

Reddish brown fibres embedded in a lighter tan or light brown coloured body. Fibres are more densely packed toward the outside of the tree trunk, becoming more and more sparse toward the centre of the tree. The centre core of the tree is soft and contains none of the darker vascular bundles that give the wood its characteristic look and hardness. Coconut has a medium to fine texture, though it is by no means even or uniform on account of the contrast between the dense, darker fibres, and the soft, lighter cellulose structure of the wood. Grain is very straight, and contains no growth rings, knots, or defects.

Coconut is quite difficult to work with both machine and hand tools. The hard fibers contrast with the soft body of the wood, and can be brittle and splinter or pull out. Very sharp tools and correct cutting angles are required to get clean results, it is very time consuming to make.

This wood species is not listed in the CITES Appendices or on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species

The final finish reflects the lack of homology of the wood and the soft and hard parts, which end up polished glossy or matt depending on the hardness of the different segments of the grain. This combination of matt, gloss finish and multicolour grain produces unique pens and rewards the efforts needed to turn the wood.

Everyone I show these coconut pens to are in wonder at the pattern and contrast of the grain, you won't be disappointed. This is the actual pen you will receive and a choice of coloured felt pouches is included In the price.
