Comfortable to write with, the pen uses a standard BIC-type ‘Ultra’ ballpoint insert that is easy to change. With care, the pen will last a lifetime provided similar refills are available. The fine detail of the pen is very imaginative and common for African carvers. Being hand carved, no two pens are alike and will have slight variations in shape, style, and size from the generic listing photographs but only to the keenest observer. Satisfaction guaranteed!

Excellent gift for friends, family, young, and old, especially students and teachers and that person whom is hard to buy for irrespective of the occasion. For you it will be an attractive writing decoration or artifact and stimulating conversational piece at home and the office. Without a doubt, a great addition for an African theme décor at home or the office.

The slim 6” to 8” (150-200mm) long, ½" tapering to ¼” (13-6mm) diameter pens finished by painting or polishing black for an ebony-like appearance are a common souvenir carving with no ceremonial use or significance. Hand carved from exotic tree woods such as mango, jacaranda, or saligna gum (Eucalyptus saligna) from commercial orchards and plantations, tree cutting services, and exotic plant removal programs. The sustainable and renewable wood source lessens the impact on ebony forests that are decimated due to demand for carvings in this medium.
