The Forester. Not a new design but a new concept, The Forester will only be available in wood and titanium gold plating. For those who love simplicity, it offers the clean look of Euro styling and the elegance of wood. The titanium gold plating is one of the best available, second perhaps only to Rhodium. The body is turned from a nice piece of Amboyna Burl that has a great curly grain. The scientific name is Pterocarpus Indicus of the family Leguminosae (subfamily Papilionoideae) the legume or pea family. Amboyna is a marvelously luxurious burl from the tree that is commonly known as narra. A rare, exotic hardwood that grows in Southeast Asia and has a fragrant aroma. It can vary in color from yellow to golden brown to red, and is generally considered excellent for both turning and finishing. Woodturners think of Amboyna as 'the burl with the swirl.' Thanks in part to its wavy grain, Amboyna Burl is figured with numerous, captivating swirls. This pen uses a twist mechanism and a smooth writing Cross refill. It measures approximately 7/16 in wide by 5 1/2 inches long. Comes in a grey velour lined gift case. Ships free by USPS Priority Mail.
