Handmade Sedona Rollerball in Leopardwood w Gold hardware
Details
This is an Sedona Rollerball pen turned out of Leopardwood with Gold hardware. It is 5-1/2 inches long and weighs about 3 ounces. It uses a Schmidt refill. As visible in some of the pictures, the cap does post.
Leopardwood ranges from a pale pinkish-brown to medium brown with a flaky, speckled figure with dark flecks, varying from a small lace-like pattern to a larger splash-like figure. The sapwood is brownish-red while the heartwood is more chocolate-brown in color. The texture is medium to fine with a straight and slightly irregular tight grain. It is stronger, darker and denser than lacewood. The leopard tree grows in areas of South America -- primarily Chile and Brazil.
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 and 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.

Beautiful Scott! This was purchased as a gift for myself - after all, I'm worth it! The quality of workmanship is apparent and I can guarantee this set will never leave my side. I've handwritten more letters and notes in the last four days since receiving this set then in the last year - I can't put them down. I completed a review post on my blog at http://tinyurl.com/6m85apk. Thanks again Scott! CRyan
