The blank for this pen is made from Stabilized Cherry Burl. This pen is brand new on the market and features a sleek new design that I really like. A "burl" is an abnormal growth that typically grow on the outside of the tree and usually near the tree trunk. Since each "eye" of the burl could have grown into a tree branch, this causes the grain to grow in every direction at the same time. A burl typically also has bark inclusions, voids, as well as other things making it difficult to turn. A "stabilized" pen blank is injected with acrylic at high pressure which dramatically helps both the color and figure of the wood to POP! I am now using the Super Glue (CA Glue) finish for all my pens. This type of finish is extremely durable and will help keep your letter opener safe from water, oil and the rigors of daily use. It takes a little longer to use this finishing method and costs a little more as well. However, the finish you have on the item when completed, is very similar to an acrylic, and will last the life of the item with no problems. This Twist Pen has the advantage of being a unisex mid-size pen that is comfortable for any size hand to hold. This item has a ½" diameter at its widest point and is about 5" long. This is a spectacular looking pen in person. If you would like to purchase a gift box I have several styles that are listed separately that would be offered at a discount if purchased with a pen. Please let me know what style you are interested in and I will send you a quote and information as to which box goes best with each style pen. You will be shipped the exact pen shown.I have been a woodworker for over 20 years, making everything from complete custom cabinetry, to bowls, boxes, and pens on the lathe. However, due to health issues, I now only turn projects on the lathe to give myself something to do for the few hours a day I can stand. When you see pens which have same name, or look the exact same, the chances are that they obtain their kits from the same sources that I use. Since I do not need to "make a living" at this, I can offer the same product, made with great precision, and generally offer it to you for a much lower price. I have 100% positive feedback, and will always ship within 48 hours of payment using USPS First Class Mail. SHIPPING IS FREE within the United States! I will ship Internationally if the buyer will pay for shipping as well as insurance. The insurance will allow the item to be tracked all the way to delivery. The standard USPS Priority Mail Small Flat Rate Box does not track the item once it leaves the United States, so it is imperative that the insurance is purchased. PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME TO SHIP THE ITEM AS A GIFT OR ALTER ANYTHING ON THE CUSTOMS FORM FOR ANY REASON. Your purchase will be canceled if you ask me to alter a customs form. I accept and prefer PayPal for payment. I will allow returns within the first 30 days of receipt. Just send me an email and I will issue a return. All you have to do is pay for the return shipping. If you have any questions or need additional photographs, please do not hesitate to ask.
