Take a look at this Majestic Jr. rollerball pen with a pastel teal-green barrel and cap of curly Karelian birch on chromed hardware with black titanium detailing. A Swarovski crystal graces the pen’s clip. The dyed wood comes from Estonia and features a rare genetic variant of silver birch. Cutting and finishing is to usual WolverineWood standards and the pen uses readily available, Parker-type refills.

Summer sales events are now over. September and October are traditionally a time for replenishing stock and preparing for pre-Christmas sales. I’ll next attend an event at Deer Lodge Centre, Winnipeg, on Saturday, November 7th.

I erred a couple days ago when reposting a Nordic rollerball with golden amboyna burl. I originally posted it about a month ago. This is the piece I ought to have posted. My apologies for repetition.

This is a Nordic rollerball pen with spalted sycamore wood on bright and satin gold hardware. Spalted wood, much treasured by penwrights and collectors, has bacterial growth in dying wood. Each colony is ringed by black lines. Note the stylized fish on the centre band of this piece. The rollerball uses readily available Parker-type refills.

As mentioned in previous posts, I’ll attend a 2-day art show and sale on August 1 and 2 long weekend in Sioux Narrows, Ontario. I try to have cat pens available for sales events as they are very popular and sell quickly. What you see here is a cat atop a sparkly purple acrylic with chrome hardware. The centre band features silhouettes of cats in various postures while the nib piece has cat paw prints. If you are interested, I can construe a cat pen to your specifications.
