Description The wood body of this handcrafted pen is lovely red cedar wood cut just at the juncture of the heartwood. It has been inlaid with an elongated 4-level Celtic knot comprised of ebony and birch woods. This is a unique, one of a kind pen.

It took a day to create the inlay. Then, in a four-day process, I cut and applied each 4-layer ring of the Celtic knot. After turning and sanding the wood by hand on a lathe up to 800 grit for maximum shimmer, this wood received a thin coat of 100% pure tung oil to make the colors pop. After curing, it received 9 successive layers of durable cyanoacrylate coating buffed to a high gloss shine before mounting in its setting.

The setting is brushed brass with Celtic knot filigree on the tip, clip and end with a clear green cabochon in the tail. Together, they're the perfect accent to the beautiful wood. The black ink cartridge extends with a turn of the tail to write smoothly in ballpoint ink.
