Polished Chrome Purpleheart Pen

Description

A smooth twist ballpoint pen hand turned in my UK workshops on a wood-turning lathe. This Sierra pen has a high quality polished chrome plated trim with satin chrome details. A handcrafted central barrel from a piece of Purpleheart Wood.

The wood needs mounting on the lathe and hand turned to round and shaped. Once shaped it needs sanding through to 400 grit and then up to 8 coatings of CA glue applying, then polished to 12000 grit using micro mesh for a super hard and durable high gloss finish. Some of my competitors only use a wax or oil finish but this is not durable enough to protect these pens over time from the natural oils and stains it will naturally pick up from the skin.

This purple heart pen uses a Parker style G2 medium ballpoint black refill available from my pen spares & refills or any other good stationery suppliers.

All of my unique wooden pens come in a black presentation box as the standard. With every piece of wood different, these pens make unusual handmade wooden gifts with the exotic wood and perfect for birthday gifts or 5th wedding anniversary gifts.
