This is a Flat Top American style fountain pen turned out of olivewood from the Holy Land, Bethlehem specifically. It is 5 1/2 inches long and had a moderate heft to it. It will be shipped without any ink loaded, but with a small supply of ink, and a certificate of authenticity for the source of the wood.

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.
