Woodland Gift Set – Irish Burled Elm Fountain Pen & Bog Oak Ballpoint Pen with Rhodium & Gold Trim

Today, more than ever, we are looking for ways to reconnect with heritage, seeking authentic, timeless objects that make the past come alive. That’s why we use native Irish wood, which carries in its very DNA the story of Ireland, to craft this classically designed Woodland fountain and ballpoint writing gift set.

If you’re searching for a special gift for a remarkable couple, this handcrafted set reflects creativity, heritage, and individuality. Whether it’s a wedding anniversary, graduation, retirement, or a deeply personal occasion, this set is made to be treasured.

This luxury pen set features two pens made from rare Irish-grown materials—Burled Elm and Bog Oak.

Burled Elm is prized for its intense, swirling grain and unique natural patterns. Our stock was sourced from the Irish midlands, passed to us by a retired clockmaker who had stored Elm offcuts for over 30 years. Only a tiny fraction of this wood was burled, making your pen exceptionally rare and special.

Irish Bog Oak is a wood older than the pyramids. It rested in Irish bogs for over 5,000 years, absorbing minerals and history from the land. Its deep black grain ensures that no two pens are alike. To preserve this connection to the past, we finish each pen in the same oils used by Irish Bog Oak sculptors, allowing you to feel its texture and legacy with every use.

This Woodland Gift Set includes:

• Fountain Pen: Crafted from Irish Burled Elm, fitted with a size 5 German nib, and compatible with international standard ink cartridges and converters.
• Ballpoint Pen: Made from 5,000-year-old Irish Bog Oak and equipped with a Swiss-made Parker-style refill, using Swiss ink and components for a smooth and consistent writing experience.

All refills and nibs are globally available or can be ordered directly from our website.

Sustainable by Nature

Each pen is refillable, helping to reduce the billions of plastic biros that go to landfill annually. Choosing a handmade Irish pen is a choice for sustainability, craftsmanship, and enduring beauty.

The pens shown were handmade in our workshop in Kells, County Meath. Your set will be made from the same woods, but no two pieces are the same. Each pen takes approximately three days to craft, ensuring it is as unique as the person receiving it.
