Engineers ballpoint pen in bog oak with Eclipse trim | Fact Sheet

The name of your pen is

"Engineers"

it is a Ballpoint clicker pen in Eclipse trim wrapped in Irish Bog Oak.


The wooden body of your pen was hand-turned, assembled, and posted, all from our workshop in Ireland's heritage capital, Kells County Meath, by Catherine & Richard Daly. 

  • The wood in your pen:    

Irish Bog Oak is at the heart of your hand-crafted pen. This extraordinary wood predates the Pyramids, embodying a legacy over 5,000 years old. Its allure lies in its distinct feel, rich colour, and profound history. To preserve these qualities, we finished your pen using the finest beeswax, just as Ireland's best Bog Oak sculptors do, allowing you to experience the full depth of its ancient heritage every time you hold it. Just as Ireland's literary giants crafted timeless works, let this pen inspire your own creativity.

  • The trim of your pen:
The trim is dark Eclipse, which complements the beautiful darkness of Irish Bog Oak.
  • The refill in your pen:

Your pen is a ballpoint pen using a Parker-type ballpoint refill. With its oil-based ink, the refill delivers an excellent, easy writing experience. The ballpoint's advantage is the variety of surfaces it will write on; it is quick to dry and not prone to smudging. This refill is widely available in all good stationery stores and on our website.

  • How to change the refill

 

At Irish Pens, we are delighted to pay homage to the woods at the heart of our handmade pen by sponsoring the planting of Native Irish Trees in the forest of Avoca, Co. Wicklow, Ireland, through the Tree Council of Irelands tree sponsorship scheme. A proportion of the sale of your pen has made this possible.

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago; the next best time is now.

 

  •  The pen case:
We supply your pen in a stylish black pen case that will protect it and ensure it is always at hand for use. We moved away from single-use pen boxes because putting a pen box in the bin is not part of our philosophy of reducing waste wherever possible. 

We post our pen in a Jiffy Green padded mailer with no bubble wrap, and the bag that holds the pen and the information card is fully recyclable.

Over 4 Billion plastic pens and their packaging go to landfills in the USA alone every year, so when the refill is empty, simply change it and keep using your pen. It is all the small things we do that help the environment.
