The ECO Gentleman rollerball pen has all the features of the original but at a lower price point. This chrome plated post-able pen is absolutely stunning. The barrel is turned from grey/green stabilized black ash burl combined with blue and purple resin. After turning and sanding the pen barrel is buffed to a high gloss finish. The resin is used to fill natural voids and cracks in the wood that would otherwise be useless. The combination of wood and resin create this beautiful pen offered in this listing. The pen is refillable and will serve you for a long time to come.
A burl results from a tree undergoing some form of stress such as injury, virus or fungus. Most burls grow beneath the ground, attached to the roots as a type of malignancy that is generally not discovered until the tree dies or falls over. Such burls sometimes appear as groups of bulbous protrusions connected by a system of rope-like roots. Insect infestation and stress or injury are the most common causes of this condition. Burls can vary greatly in color and are rare and harder to work than standard wood, they also contain natural cracks and voids because the grain is so dense. The wood is then impregnated with colored resin by being placed in a vacuum chamber so the resin will penetrate deep into the wood. After the vacuum process the wood is baked for 1 hour at low heat to cure the resin, this process colors and stabilizes the wood to give you the beautiful colors featured in this pen.
