The Beauty of Figured Olivewood

Olive trees have been grown around the Mediterranean for thousands of years, and their wood is one of the most recognizable in the world. Mediterranean olivewood is dense, hard, and known for wild, flowing grain with dark streaks running through warm, honey-colored wood. This blank was selected for its especially strong figure, so the pen shows dramatic movement and depth from every angle. Since the wood determines the pattern, your pen will be unlike any other.

A Pen with Meaning

Olivewood carries deep symbolism of peace, endurance, and faith, and it holds a special place for many people because of its history in the Holy Land. That makes this pen a thoughtful gift for a pastor, a Bible study leader, a confirmation or baptism, or anyone who would value a handmade piece with a story behind it.

Balanced and Ready for Daily Use

Frank turns every pen by hand in St. Charles County, giving each one the care and finish you would expect from a dedicated local craftsman. The twist mechanism operates smoothly, and the cap posts securely onto the back of the pen for a well-balanced feel during longer writing sessions. Polished chrome hardware keeps the look clean and classic, and the German-made Schmidt refill writes reliably and can be replaced when it runs dry.

This pen is sold on consignment on behalf of the maker. All consignment sales are final. Stop by our shop in the Cottleville Old Town Historic District to see the grain of this olivewood pen in person, or order online.
