This is an El Toro style Fountain pen turned out of a blank of Box Elder Burl that was dyed a combination of Blue and Gold with Gold Titanium hardware. It is 4-1/2 inches long when completely closed and about and about 6 inches long with the cap posted onto the barrel. It weighs about 1.6 ounces empty of ink. It comes with the ability to be filled from an ink capsule.

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 cut the wood to length and drill holes to make room for the mechanism. I then put the blank on the lathe 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.
