Handmade wooden pen

A handmade wooden twist-action ballpoint pen made using Burmese teak reclaimed from HMS Iron Duke, finished in either rhodium or brushed silver.

A stunning ballpoint pen with twist operation and super-smooth lines makes this a popular model, especially with the number of finishes available. The twist action is firm and smooth, and the top twists to reveal the nib.

The body has been hand-turned using the highest quality materials to the highest, most exacting standards and the results of which are simply stunning. Finished with a semi-sheen hard wearing laquer, this pen is well protected and feels great in the hand.

More information on the HMS Iron Duke handmade pen:

These hand crafted pens have been made using reclaimed Burmese teak from HMS Iron Duke.

HMS Iron Duke was a dreadnought battleship of the Royal Navy, the lead ship of her class, named in honour of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. She was built by Portsmouth Dockyard, and her keel laid in January 1912. Launched ten months later, she was commissioned into the Home Fleet in March 1914 as the fleet flagship. She was armed with a main battery of ten 13.5-inch (343 mm) guns and was capable of a top speed of 21.25 knots (39.36 km/h; 24.45 mph.

In 1930 the Iron Duke was converted into a gunnery training ship; her armour and much of her armament was removed to render her unfit for combat. She served in this capacity until the outbreak of the Second World War in September 1939, when she was moored in Scapa Flow as a harbour defence ship. In October, she was badly damaged by German bombers and was run aground to avoid sinking. She was broken up for scrap in the late 1940s.
