Pen Gallery To make things easier for visitors, I have grouped similar types of pens together. You can also see a variety of my products on my Etsy site, http://www.greenleafwood.etsy.com/. Check out is especially easy through Etsy. Rollerball Pens
Rollerballs typically feature a ceramic ball and thinner , easier flowing ink than a ballpoint. What this means to you is a finer line, with less effort. Simply put, rollerballs write more easily than ballpoints. In fact, I consider them a mid-way point between a ballpoint and a fountain pen. Ballpoint pensThe history of the ballpoint pen goes back to 1938 when László Biró registered his invention. Since then, companies such as Bic and Papermate have produced, literally, millions of disposable pens and sold them around the world. Ah yes, the disposable ballpoint pen... A dietary staple for many school aged children around the world, chewing on the ends and caps until they could actually taste the thick blotchy ink. -sigh- Fond memory or bad dream? I know where I stand on that debate! Here at Green Leaf Wood Studio, I hope to elevate the lowly ballpoint pen into a true work of art. Using only the best components, I make fine writing instruments. These bear no resemblence to the 10¢ disposable pieces of plastic that inhabit the darkest recesses of office furniture. Instead, these add a touch of pizazz to your life. These have instant "Wow!". These are well-balanced, reliable tools which function as well as the quality of the refill you use.
Fountain pensFor style and elegance, a fountain pen is without equal. With one, you send a message which says, “I appreciate the finer things life has to offer.” It projects a powerful, successful image that others will notice. Do you remember the days when using a fountain pen involved levers and drawing ink from a bottle? If you answer "yes" then you must also remember inked hands, shirt pockets that were ruined, though colourful. Those days are long behind us. Today, most users utilize non-refillable cartridges which are available at any decent office supply store. These are convenient and clean to use. Still, for those who have special inks they prefer to use, each of these pens (except the El Toro models) come with a pump which allows refilling. Our fountain pens are made using quality German nibs and the finest platings. Special attention is given to wood selection and shaping which results in a fine writing instrument with superb balance and control. These are a pleasure to use.
Collectible Writing InstrumentsThis is the place where I keep the best of the best. These pens may be of interest to the collector either by the nature of the woods used or the details in the metalwork. Also, the platings on these pens are the most brilliant and durable that I can find. If you are looking for a special pen, suitable for your most important documents and correspondence (or the biggest 'deal' of your career!), you have come to the right place.
Enjoy!
This is a Cambridge rollerball in stabilized maple burl. Stabilized means that wood has been impregnated with resins to help create a more uniform, durable material to work with. The platings on this exquiiste, handmade wooden pen are Sterling Silver and titanium gold (titanium is mixed with the gold to give it toughness) and are in a grape-vine motif. This is a full-sized pen. $150.00 The fittings of the Majestic Jr. are finely detailed, displaying hand-carved accents. Combine that with black titanium and rhodium platings and a genuine Swarovski crystal in the clip and you have an heirloom quality pen. The perfect gift for the exceutive in your life. SOLD For the fountain pen collector. The gold in the fittings helps bring to life the richness of the buckeye burl wood in this fountain pen. While the cap is postable, I do not recommend it because I feel it throws off the balance. Without the cap, writing with this pen is nearly effortless. Pure elegance. $150.00 This style of pen is called the Majestic and with good reason. This is a full-sized pen and is perfect for those who prefer a heavier pen. With its rhodium and black titanium platings and the genuine Swarovski crystal in the clip, the Majestic simply dazzles. Add the classic elegance of the cocobolo wood and you have a piece suitable for any collection. If you want to project a strong, successful image in your next meeting or sale presentation, look no further. $200.00
