Riverbed - Intuibead - Lampwork Skookum Pen (SRA)

Description

When I look at a riverbed there is always neat stuff to find and to see. That's what occurred to me when I looked at this pen as there was something new just about every time I looked at it.

On a bed of dark ivory lies dots of blues, greens, white, reds, and blacks. This very pretty pen that would be a great addition to pen collector's stash. Each pen is either signed by me or includes my signature cane in the artwork.

Do you like the design but would like a different color? It may be possible, please ask.

Let me introduce you to the Skookum Pen. "Skookum" is a Chinook word meaning "good", "hard", and "strong", which describes both the craftsmanship and mechanics of the Skookum pen.

First the craftsmanship. Each pen's weight is equally balanced and not top-heavy because the lampworked glass beads extend the entire length of the pen. This also gives the Skookum pen an elegant and streamlined look. Each Skookum pen is handmade and unique in design therefore no two pens will be exactly alike. The lampworked beads are kiln annealed to allow for proper cooling of the glass and to prevent spontaneous cracking. Note: annealing does not prevent breakage from bouncing the pen (or any glass bead) off of a hard surface, such as a concrete floor.

Now for the internal mechanics. The internal components of the Skookum pen consists of brass and steel. The refill for the Skookum pen is a standard Cross refill that is available at local stationary stores in blue, black, and red inks. Black ink is the standard ink for the Skookum pen.

Because of the detailed craftsmanship and solid internal mechanism of the Skookum pen, there is a very unique feel and smooth writing experience when using the pen. The Skookum pen is a dream to write with and makes a great gift for someone who enjoys writing or journaling. Do I use the Skookum pen myself? Absolutely!!

Each Skookum pen comes in a sleek black plastic pen box. Handsome wooden presentation pen boxes are also available in my shop.
