Cigar Bahia ballpoint pen, Brazilian tulipwood, gold plated
£38.00
This Cigar style ballpoint pen
has an
attractive chunky feel and is made from beautiful Brazilian tulipwood
and premium gold plated components. It has a highi gloss finish, which
highlights the natural properties of the wood.
This is a very beautiful and rare wood. The heartwood is a pinkish to salmon colour, overlain with streaks of yellow, red purple and rose. The streaks can be perpendicular giving the wood a somewhat linear appearance or they can be quite variegated and random.
Native to northeastern Brazil and occasionally found in Columbia
and Venezuela, Brazilian Tulipwood is a small tree or shrub. It grows
up to 30 feet in height with a width rarely exceeding 12 – 16 inches.
Hence the tree yields small pieces of material often with heart defect.
It is a long-lived, slow-growing tree that requires a minimum of a 100
years to reach maturity.
