The Thea Pen is simply gorgeous. Simple, elegant and with a flawless writing performance, this pen is sure to impress.
As each of our pens are custom made from a range of stunning timbers, each piece is genuinely one of a kind. Sassafrass grows as an understorey tree in Tasmania’s wet mixed forests and rainforests but also grows in Victoria and New South Wales. Timber from the plain sassafrass logs was once used for clothes pegs because they do not contain any tannin. Today sassafrass is famous for its spectacular black-heart stain caused by naturally occuring wood fungi which produces a range of contrasting brown to black colours in the heartwood.
Black-heart sassafrass timber is used in wood turning, furniture, joinery, for veneers and in many souvenir items. Creative veneer lay-ups can produce stunning effects with even slight amounts of heart stain. Spalted sassafrass timber, fine dark lines caused by stain fungi in the log after harvesting, is also attractive and popular in craft and furniture items. Our timber is sourced sustainably from companies 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.
