Handmade wooden large flat top fountain pen-Cocobollo

Description

The grain, stability, and aesthetics of Cocobolo (Dalbergia retusa) are impeccable, on par with Siam Rosewood (Dalbergia cochinchinensis). When it comes to the properties and physical characteristics of the wood alone, Cocobolo is actually superior. In terms of material, Cocobolo possesses the hardness, luster, high strength, great hardness, strong corrosion resistance, and fine texture of Siam Rosewood, along with natural, gracefully varied dark black streaks that resemble flowing clouds, mountain ranges, or ghost faces, adding more charm. Cocobolo has a higher oil content than Siam Rosewood, which also makes it more stable.

As you can see in the pictures, although all the materials are Cocobolo, each pen exhibits different colors and grain patterns. Some are deep in color, some are bright, even with a hint of orange-red; some have bold grain patterns, while others show more intricate grain. This is why each pen is individually numbered for selection.

When designing this fountain pen, special attention was paid to the comfort of holding it while writing. Therefore, a transitional step was made between the grip section and the barrel, and the cap and barrel were designed to connect more tightly. The entire grip section is made of wood, making the overall appearance of the pen more cohesive. However, the consequence is that it may not be possible to dip the pen directly into an ink bottle to fill it. Instead, you would need to use an ink cartridge or a syringe to inject ink into the cartridge or converter. This is something you need to consider.
