A Rare Piece of Irish Natural History
Irish Bog Oak is one of the most distinctive and historically significant materials found in Ireland. Preserved beneath peatlands for thousands of years, it develops a deep, rich tone and character that cannot be replicated in modern timber.
Each Woodland pen is made from a carefully selected piece of this ancient wood, ensuring that no two pens are ever the same. This individuality gives each pen its own presence, story, and connection to Ireland’s past.
Designed for Reliable Everyday Writing
The Woodland Ballpoint Pen is designed to deliver consistent performance in everyday use. It feels balanced in the hand and offers a smooth writing experience suitable for both personal and professional settings.
It uses a Parker-style international ballpoint refill, which is widely available and easy to replace, ensuring long-term usability wherever you are.

Thank you, Eimear—really appreciate your kind words. Delighted everything arrived on time and made the right impression. Your support means a great deal to us. Richard & Catherine
As yet to pass the pen on as a gift but from what I can see it is of good quality and excellently presented .
The unfortunate part of receiving this order was having to pay VAT and DUTY to the value of £44.00 before it was delivered.
Thank you, Vivienne—delighted to hear you’re happy with the quality and presentation.
We completely understand your frustration regarding the VAT and duty charges; unfortunately, these are set by local customs and are outside our control. We really appreciate your support and hope the gift is very well received.
