GW Ancient Irish Bog Oak Fountain Pen

Now Available!

The Ancient Irish Bog Oak fountain pen has a resin cap and section cast in-house to resemble shamrocks with bronze trim rings. The widest trim ring has a Celtic knot that partially wraps around the ring, with another on the contoured cap medallion. The bottom body finial is tied in using a bronze disc with the GW logo engraved. 

The wooden body is Oak pulled from a pest bog in Ireland. Bog Oak, as it’s come to be known, has been radiocarbon dated to be between 3,000-8,000 years old. Because it was submerged in this low oxygen environment, the wood was well preserved while slowly darkening until finally turning black all the way through. The wood has been stabilized and coated with a cyanoacrylate finish to fully seal the wood. The body is also lined with ebonite that extends out to form the cap threads. These steps together help make this pen a true heirloom piece.

The nib is a gold plated JoWo #6 nib, available in tip sizes ranging from EF to B. The ink delivery is cartridge/converter and includes a Schmidt K5 converter. 

Each Ancient Irish Bog Oak pen includes a Certificate of Authenticity detailing the specific area in Ireland the wood was sourced from.
