Woodland Rollerball Pen – Handmade from Irish Burled Elm with Rhodium and Black Titanium Trim

Where Irish heritage meets timeless design

Today, more than ever, we seek meaningful gifts that connect us to our roots. That’s why we created the Woodland Rollerball Pen—an elegant writing instrument crafted from Irish Burled Elm, a wood steeped in heritage and beauty. Each pen is a rare piece of Irish nature, hand-turned to reveal striking grain patterns, wild natural markings, and rich tone variations that make no two pens alike.

Rare Irish Burled Elm with a story

This exceptional burled elm was sourced from a retired clockmaker in Ireland’s midlands, who had preserved small cuts of Irish-grown elm for over 30 years. Though much of the wood was plain, only a small percentage was beautifully burled—making your pen uniquely rare. The wood's unpredictable patterns, described as "manic" in character, lend each pen a dynamic personality and unmatched charm.

Superior writing performance

Adorned with luxurious rhodium and black titanium accents, this pen is fitted with a premium Swiss-made rollerball refill, ensuring a smooth, reliable writing experience. It accepts standard-sized refills that are available worldwide. We include a spare refill for added convenience.

A sustainable Irish gift

No trees are cut down to produce our pens. We use only salvaged or wind-felled Irish wood, and each pen sold helps plant a new tree in Ireland through our partnership with the Tree Council. It’s a gift that preserves Ireland’s past while nurturing its future.

Complete luxury gift experience

Handmade oak finished pen gift box upgrade

Take your gift to the next level with our handcrafted oak-finished pen box. Inspired by the artistry of the Book of Kells and made in our Kells workshop, the box measures 180mm x 116mm x 45mm and features custom walnut rests for one or two pens. The inner lid can be engraved with a personalised message, making this an ideal choice for personal or corporate gifting.

Corporate logo engraving is available—please contact us for more information.

Handmade in Ireland’s heritage heartland

Each pen is individually crafted by hand using traditional hand tools. It takes approximately three days to complete one pen, during which we carefully bring out the natural beauty of the wood. Your pen will be handcrafted from the same batch of rare Irish Burled Elm shown in our listing—but with its own distinctive grain and character.

Sustainability in action: Our pens are designed for a lifetime of use—just replace the refill. By choosing one of our handcrafted instruments, you help reduce the billions of disposable pens sent to landfill annually.
