Shimmering Birdseye Maple | Pentagonal Pencil | Wooden Pen / Stationery / Mechanical Pencil

About "Birdseye Maple" It is an extremely rare and special grain found in maple wood, named for its lustrous patterns that resemble the shining eyes of a bird. It forms when the tree sprouts numerous small buds during its growth. The nodes that appear after a dense cluster of new buds recede create the distinctive grain of birdseye maple. Birdseye maple is exceedingly rare and is considered one of the finest wood grains. It is often used to decorate the soundboards of guitars or violins, or as an embellishment for jewelry boxes, attesting to its preciousness. // Multi-faceted Wooden Stationery Series // With sharp, angular designs in pentagonal, hexagonal, heptagonal, octagonal, decagonal shapes, it showcases the distinct wood grain and strong three-dimensionality that emerges as the pen body rolls under sunlight, with each facet appearing different. Whether it's the stable, straight grain or the gradient of mountain-shaped patterns, each has its own charm. The front and back ends of the pen body taper slightly, fitting snugly against the nib and the end of the clip without any discernible gap. This precise craftsmanship reflects the artisan's dedication to and insistence on detail, while also presenting a smooth connection between the polyhedron and the cylinder, making it more comfortable to hold and write with.
