Item of the week - Cigar style ballpoint pen in Bethlehem Olivewood w satin gold hardware

Cigar style ballpoint pen in Bethlehem Olivewood with satin gold hardware - This is a Cigar style Ballpoint pen turned out of Olive Wood from Bethlehem, the Holy Land, with Satin Gold hardware. It is 6 inches long and weighs about 2 ounces. It uses a Parker refill. This pen has a double-twist mechanism.

The Olive Wood tree is a subtropical, broad-leaved, evergreen tree, with edible fruit. They range in height from 3 to 8 meters with numerous branches. In October, the trees are pruned and the wood is made available to craftsmen, like me, to create gorgeous pens. The trees range in age from a few years old to a few thousand. The tree used to make this pen may have been alive at the time of Christ.

It is a very comfortable pen for those with larger hands or for those who have trouble grasping smaller objects. It's about 11 mm in diameter where I grasp it for writing.

Until Sunday, the 29th, contact me and I'll set you up with 25% on the purchase of this pen.
