This pen is unique in two ways. First, though pens come from the same piece of wood, the coloring and grain will look different.  Secondly, the pen is turned on a lathe with great care, one at a time. After a number of times the pen is turned, followed by more finer sanding steps, a burnishing and a finishing operation, giving this pen a smooth shiny, protective surface.

 This beautiful pen is made of Bacote. The tree grows from 65 to 120 feet tall.
