Birdseye Maple is one of my favourite woods to work with and admire. I select the best birdseye maple wood available in Nova Scotia. The eyes in the wood are believed to form from a fungus but there are different theories on this. This is a light weight Wooden Fountain Pen and has a medium tip for your writing enjoyment. This is one of my most popular pen styles. The Birdseye Maple Fountain Pen comes packaged in a free, attractive pen box.
