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

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:
At the heart of your hand-crafted pen lies Irish Burled Elm — a rare and treasured wood, found only in quiet corners of our land. Its grain swirls and dances in patterns that seem wild and whimsical, almost as if nature herself decided to scribble her thoughts across the surface. There's a kind of beautiful chaos in its lines — no order, no rules — just pure, natural artistry that makes each piece utterly unique.
This particular elm comes from the gentle midlands of Ireland, where time moves a little slower. We were fortunate to receive it from a retired clockmaker, a craftsman who had spent over 30 years collecting offcuts of this elm — pieces too small for his delicate work, yet too lovely to discard. In his hands, they waited quietly all those years, until they found new purpose in ours.
Now, that same wood lives on in your pen — a small piece of Ireland’s story, full of character, history, and heart.

Your pen is a ballpoint pen using a Parker-type ballpoint refill. With its oil-based ink, the refill provides an excellent and easy writing experience. The ballpoint's advantage is its versatility in writing on various surfaces; it dries quickly and is less prone to smudging. This refill is widely available in all good stationery stores and on our website.
