Classic ballpoint in Irish Yew

The wood we have used is Irish Yew;

Yew has played a tremendous role in shaping religious beliefs, being associated with immortality and rebirth, or a spiritual resurrection. The ancient Celts and Druids were sacred trees and adorned many of their holy sites. Churches were often built on these ancient religious sites and inherited the yew trees already there - one can find a yew tree in many a churchyard.
Muckross Abbey and a vast Yew tree in the middle of Abbey’s cloister. It was planted when the friary was first built in 1448 by Dónal McCarthy Mór – the chieftain of the area. That same tree can still be seen and enjoyed today – it’s an old Irish Yew tree.
One fact is certain; It seems that the 'wise' was always associated with trees. However, trees, including the yew, were, like the Sun and Moon, instrumental in forming just about all literary and religious traditions and a major inspiration to many artists.
