An elegant Majestic Squire style twist ballpoint pen made in curly mango wood. The pen kit has 22kt gold and black titanium accents with a Swarovski crystal on the clip. The curly mango wood has a rich golden brown color swirl with a shimmer effect. The black titanium and 22kt gold accents compliment the wood nicely. The pen comes with black ink and accepts a Parker refill. This pen is appropriate for male or female and appropriate for the office.

If the cost of this pen is a concern, consider this. This pen is a fine writing instrument made with attention to shape, detail, and finish. The wood is carefully selected and pen blanks are cut from the wood to reveal the grain of the wood to its best advantage. The blanks are cut to the appropriate length, a hole is drilled through the center of the blank, and a brass pen tube is inserted and glued into place with epoxy glue. This is left to cure overnight. The pen blank is then mounted onto the lathe. The turning process begins and the wood is shaped. After shaping the wood to satisfaction, the finishing process begins.

The pen is sanded beginning with 320-grit and is carried all the way through to 12,000 grit to create a very smooth surface on the pen. Three individual coats of gloss lacquer are applied allowing each coat to dry before adding the next coat. Depending upon the weather conditions (temperature and humidity) the pen will be set aside to dry for two to three hours. Following this drying period, this procedure is repeated to 6 coats of lacquer, and allowed it to dry again. This process is repeated until the pen has a total of 12 coats of lacquer applied. The pen is then set aside and allowed to cure for several days, again depending upon the weather conditions.

After the pen is cured, the sanding process is repeated beginning with 600-grit and carried through 12,000 grit. The pen is then buffed with a polishing compound to a very smooth finish. The pen is then waxed with Renaissance Wax.

The high quality fittings are then assembled into the wood parts to complete the pen. The result is a high quality pen with beautiful, long-lasting high gloss finish that will last for a long time.

I take great pride in my workmanship and I want my name associated with a high-quality end product; therefore, I use the highest quality pen kits for each style I make.

Care and maintenance of the pen is dependent upon frequency of use. Simply apply a coat of good quality wax (not containing silicone) and buff with a soft clean cloth.
