We designed our Feadán <Fa-don> pen range. Hence, routine writing tasks become infinitely more enjoyable; utilising a simple and minimalist form, we pay homage to the beauty of the wood we craft from; the wood's utterly original character gives certainty that each Feadán is unique. Feadán is the Irish word for tube, and the shape and function of a tube is to allow unfettered movement within it; a Feadán is a tactile conduit enabling the unfettered flow of feelings to paper for the intimate writing task that is anything but routine when words and emotion are so expressive that they need to be shared as has always been the way in Irish literary heritage, holding a pen made from wood grown in Ireland is a beautiful way to connect with that heritage.

Irish Bog Oak, a wood older than the pyramids, was used for this pen; the bog oak lay in Irish bog waters for over 5000 years, giving it the distinctive, very dark colour before it was exposed once again to the Irish sunlight. An extraordinary wood.

The tangible, the natural and the intangible aspects of Irish heritage are all captured in this beautiful bog oak, a wood used in Irish historical sites. This wood came from rich boglands where it rested for over 5,000 years and was raised to become part of the folklore myths, legends and traditions that shaped our identity. We craft the wood with great care, shaping it with the sharpest tools, sanding it with great care to a smooth, almost sensual touch and then apply a blend of oils that allow us to protect the wood while paying homage to its beauty and heritage, a significant handmade gift.  

The tubular design is very tactile; holding the pen has a playfulness to it, and lining up the wood grain each time the cap is posted is fun and addictive.

Laying or standing on a desk or resting on a notepad at a meeting, the Feadán will be noticed. Still, as with all good design, form must follow function, so we installed an all-Swiss-made rollerball refill to deliver the finest writing experience. The pen takes standard rollerball refills widely available. 

The ends of the pen are turned slightly concave so the pen will stand tall on its own.

We also make this pen as a Fountain pen click for a look

Sustainability is high on everyone’s agenda; by using one of our handmade pens and only replacing the refill, you help the environment by not contributing to the BILLIONS of plastic biros that go to landfills every year.

Please give one of our fountain pens with our ink pump; the only thing you don't use is the empty glass ink bottle that is recycled; how green is that!

At a time when individuality is becoming increasingly rare, we can engrave the pen for you.

  • Pen length 145mm or 5.7 inches capped 127mm or 5 inches uncapped.
  • Pen weight 44gm or 1.55oz capped 30gm or 1 ounce uncapped
  • If you have any questions about this range or any of our pens, don't hesitate to contact us by email at info@irishpens.ie any time.

Solid oak pen box upgrade

Presenting a high-quality handmade writing pen for an extraordinary occasion?

Enhance your pen gift with an exceptional pen box. Our clients worldwide have asked us for a wooden gift/presentation box for our pens; as Rosewood is a protected species, we collaborated with a local expert cabinetmaker to craft a solid Irish Oak pen box. Oak, the "King of the forest", was the obvious choice for us as it represents Ireland’s qualities. Like our wooden pens, each box is as unique as your fingerprints.

  • Box Facts:
  • Solid Oak
  • Suitable for one or two pens
  • Oak pen rests
  • Engrave the inner lid with your personal message
  • Add a logo to the inner lid
  • We can also engrave the top of the box; contact us to discuss your requirements
  • 180mm long | 70mm wide | 50mm high | 220 gm | baize fabric lined base | antique brass hinge
  • The box is wrapped in branded tissue paper and then wrapped in a recyclable card to protect it during shipping. This is a 100% environmental option for that exceptional pen gift box.

The pen pictured was handmade by us; your pen will be of the same wood, as no two wood pieces are the same; that is your certainty that your pen will be unique. Like the pen pictured, we will select the most interesting wood to craft your pen from. It takes us about 3 days to craft a pen.
