The wooden body of your pen was hand-turned, the pen was assembled and posted all from our workshop in Ireland's heritage capital of 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 color, 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 is Black titanium and gold which complement the beautiful blackness of the bog oak
  • The refill in your pen:

Your pen is a ballpoint pen using a Parker-type ballpoint refill. The refill with its oil-based ink delivers an excellent, easy writing experience. The advantage of the ballpoint is the virties of surfaces it will write on, its quick to dry and not pron to smudging. This refill is widely available in all good stationery stores and on our website. Click this link to order the refill for this pen.

  • 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 your pen 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 to reduce 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 landfill in the USA alone every year so when the refill your is empty simply change it and keep using your pen. Its all the small things we do that help the environment.
