This is a Flat Top American style ballpoint turned out of Box Elder Burl that has been dyed Red/Black with Chrome hardware. It is a medium weight pen, suitable for either a woman's or a man's hand and comes in at 5 1/2 inches long. This has a double twist, retractable mechanism that uses a Cross refill.

A bit about of the process of creating these pens: I start with a hand-selected bit of wood and the bits that make up the mechanism of the pen. I then spend some time working the wood to be the proper diameter to match the mechanism. Sand paper is applied, through a number of grits, to get a nice, smooth surface. Several coats of finish are applied and buffed. The wood and mechanism are then combined to create a fabulous writing instrument.
