Here’s a Sierra ballpoint pen with spectacular teal-dyed curly maple burl on black hardware with gold trim. The piece was profiled, sanded, and finished with friction polish to usual WolverineWood standards. This writing implement uses Parker-type refills.

Note: I’ll attend the art/artisan show and sale at Sioux Narrows this coming August 1st and 2nd weekend. Please stop by if in the area.

As mentioned in previous posts, I’ll attend a 2-day art show and sale on August 1 and 2 long weekend in Sioux Narrows, Ontario. I try to have cat pens available for sales events as they are very popular and sell quickly. What you see here is a cat atop a sparkly purple acrylic with chrome hardware. The centre band features silhouettes of cats in various postures while the nib piece has cat paw prints. If you are interested, I can construe a cat pen to your specifications.

This ‘Nordic' rollerball is a customer favourite. The piece has a simple elegance highlighted by cast fish on a satin gold centre band. Amboyna burl comes from Narra trees in south-east Asian countries such as Laos. Golden amboyna burl is a rare variant of the usually red burl. I cut this rollerball with a reduced profile. It is sanded and finished with friction polish to usual Wolverine standards. The pen uses Parker-type refills.

I will attend the 2-day art festival and sale in Sioux Narrows, Ontario, on 1st and 2nd August. Please drop by if in the area.

To the person who sent me a message on Facebook (initials U.B.), I’m sorry but I can’t reply to your message on Facebook. I did send you my email address, so can you please use it to contact. Thanks. Shannon @ Wolverinewood.

I will attend a 2-day artisans' and artists' show and sale in Sioux Narrows, Ontario, on Saturday and Sunday, August 1st and 2nd long weekend. Please drop by if you are in the region.

Have a look at this new offering: a Cyclone rollerball pen with fusion material of unusual maple burl and cerise alumilite on gold-finished hardware with black chrome detailing. This piece was progressively sanded, then finished with multiple coats of friction polish. The pen uses easily available, Parker-type refills. If you desire this piece as a fountain pen, I can quickly retrofit it with the appropriate #6 nib and ink converter.

In the past year I have added a new line of reasonably-priced ‘Manager’ rollerball pens to my stock. These feature attractive colours, some fusion materials, and several types of hardware (chrome, gold, gunmetal. Today I am showing you a Manager pen with red, gold and black pearlux alumilte (pattern is called ‘banshee') on gunmetal fittings. The pen uses Parker-type rollerball refills.

I try to keep reasonably-priced calligraphy sets in stock and have just added this beautiful boxed set. The pen cap and barrel consist of a fusion blue-dyed fiddleback maple and dark blue and purple alumilite. The set includes three interchangeable calligraphy nibs (1.5, 1.9 and 2.5 mm), a piston-style ink pump/converter, and 2 each of black and blue ink refills. I am also pleased to take custom orders to your specifications for calligraphy sets.

I don’t personally know any pink cats. Dyed white poodles yes; cats no. Nevertheless, here is a cat pen with pink pearlux alumilite urethane material (made in Guelph, Ontario) on bright chrome hardware. Note the pen clip, centre band with various cat pose silhouettes and the nib band with feline footprints. This ballpoint pen uses readily available, Parker-type refills. If you prefer an orange or grey tabby, black cat, or some other rendition, I can accommodate. Meow!

Recently delivered, a beautiful Mistral ballpoint pen with ancient Sonoran Desert ironwood from Arizona, coupled with black titanium hardware. Desert ironwood is extremely dense and, with a specific gravity of about 1.25, it sinks like a stone in water. However, it is wonderful to work with on a lathe, easy to sand, and it polishes to a high-gloss finish. This pen uses Parker-type ballpoint refills. Equivalent to a Mont Blanc ballpoint, but not fabricated from black plastic.
