Description
This pen was made as a gift for a friend’s partner as a way of saying “Thank you”. Their business Contstella has worked wonders on my car and I felt this was the least I could do. I tried to design a pen that was elegant and comfortable for the female hand and still be attractive. I decided to use a piece of Damson wood cut from a tree that had been grown in our garden. Damson is a variation of plum and produces very attractively coloured wood. Being close grain it gives a very smooth surface which I coated in sanding sealer prior to applying the self-made Constella water slide transfer. Once this had dried several coats of Melamine spray finish were applied, each being carefully sanded between coats.
The pen uses a standard Cross style refill which is replaced by carefully pulling the two halves apart. The end of the refill will be seen protruding from the twist mechanism. This is carefully unscrewed from the mechanism before replacing. The two halves are then carefully pushed back together ensuring the grain of the wood is aligned.
