This presimo fountain pen was crafted from the root of a walnut tree and matched with chrome fittings and a satin cap. Using the root of the tree adds more character and figure to the wood grains. The cap screws on the nib end and snaps on the back for easy storage while in use. The pen does feature an iridium tipped nib and comes with one ink cartridge and a refillable ink pump. This particular walnut wood was harvested in Colorado from a dead walnut tree. Walnut trees can be found throughout North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Heartwood can range from a lighter pale brown to a dark chocolate brown with darker brown streaks. Color can have a grey, purple, or reddish cast. Walnut wood is highly prized for furniture and gun making. Walnut wood is a hard wood and is one of the most traditional woods used in wood crafting. With all pen purchases you receive a Black velour w/ Gold trim gift box, a letter describing the material used to craft the pen and signed by the crafter, and priority shipping from the USPS. All wood and antler pens are finished with a CA glue coating which gives them a longer lasting shine and helps protect the wood / antler.
