This 30 caliber bolt action ballpoint pen and letter opener were crafted from grey and black dyed buckeye burl and matched with gun metal fittings. The writing tip of the pen is extended and retracted by manipulating the bolt action on the side of the pen. The pen does take Parker style ink refills. Buckeye trees can be found throughout the eastern United States. Buckeye wood ranges from cream colored to a yellowish color. Burl wood is caused by abnormal growth in a tree which causes knotting or unusual grain patterns. Buckeye burl wood can have reddish brown knots and / or light to dark gray discoloring. Stabilizing the wood is done by injecting or soaking the wood in a type of resin which strengthens the wood and prevents moisture level fluctuation and warping of the wood. Buckeye wood is not widely used because of its lack of density and strength. Some of the more common uses for buckeye are furniture, crates, and pulpwood. Buckeye burl is more prized and is commonly used in the production of guitars, pens, and other turned products. With all pen purchases you receive a Black velour w/ Gold trim gift box, a letter describing the material used to craft the pen and signed by the crafter, and priority shipping from the USPS. All wood and antler pens are finished with a CA glue coating which gives them a longer lasting shine and helps protect the wood / antler. ***30 caliber gift sets (due to size) come in a different gift box than other pens and pen sets. The pens offered by Provincial Mills are handcrafted in the United States (Colorado). We offer a 30 day money back guarantee on all handcrafted pens (excludes shipping). If for any reason you are unhappy with the product, ship it back to us and we will refund the purchase price.
