The Cassandra Pen is a gorgeous pen featuring a sleek, stunning column of crystals. Made from exquisite Tasmanian Blackwood, this pen is designed to dazzle and the timber makes the crystals simply glow.
As each of our pens are custom made from a range of stunning timbers, each piece is genuinely one of a kind. One of the best known and most widely used Tasmanian special timber, blackwood is produced in moderate commercial volumes and grows across a broad range of forest types. The biggest, straightest, tallest trees come from the wet forest and swamps of north west Tasmania. Blackwood timber colour ranges from a very pale honey colour through to a dark chocolate with streaks of red tinge. However, straight grain timber is not the most prized or valuable, blackwood with intense fiddleback figure being the most valuable.
Tasmanian Blackwood is very similar in its properties, colour and figure to Hawaiian Koa, Acacia koa, which is highly regarded as a wood for acoustic guitars. As Koa is becoming very difficult to legally source, Tasmanian Blackwood from managed forests is becoming a sought-after substitute and special wood in its own right. Luthiers have used highly figured Koa and now blackwood in their best instruments. We source our timber from suppliers who rescue timber from distressed trees.
Beautifully presented in a deluxe leather pen case, our hand crafted pieces are built to last and make individual, meaningful gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, events or that special someone. You could even consider this beautifully crafted pen for your next ‘thank you’ gift or as a gorgeous keepsake for special events.
