Platinum Gel/Rollerball in Bethlehem Holy Land Olive Wood $65 ITEM #86
Add to CCNow Cart

These Platinum Gel/Rollerball pens use the Pilot G2 gel (or) Zebra "Orbitz" Archival, Acid-free Gel ink refills. They are two-piece pens and the cap is "posting", meaning that it screws on both ends, to prevent loss. These pens are $65, and also include the free solid maple gift case shown below. The religious significance of this wood is greatly appreciated as a gift for ordination or confirmation.

I've been turning Bethlehem Holy Land Olive Wood for quite a while now and am always impressed by the character of the wood. Well tonight - something really unexpected appeared as I turned a ballpoint pen from an unusually figured piece of olive wood! It really makes you wonder!!! Obviously, this is a one of a kind pen that could never be duplicated. I will probably keep this for my own collection, but I just wanted everyone to see it. Enjoy!

Are you a serious pen collector who will use only high quality fountain pens? You may choose any of the CUSTOM WOOD PENS from the gel/rollerball page, (not the ballpoints page) then simply add the fountain pen tip (rollerball upgrade kit) listed here. I'll replace the rollerball tip with the fountain pen tip. Tip will ship "dry" so you will ink it for the first time! It's only $65 additional, and includes a solid 14k "585" medium nib, a bulk ink pump, and starter "international" type cartridge. Extra cartridges are available at Staples Office Supply as "Allwrite #8004-32"
These solid 14k nibs simply glide over the page with no pressure, and are vastly superior to cheaper "Iridium tipped" steel nibs. They are hand made by a German manufacturer who makes 80% of the 14k nibs used by the major pen manufacturers. The nib is the most important part of a fountain pen, so it pays to get the very best!

Free solid maple case shown below (you will see similar cases as a $10.00-$18.00 option on other websites) is included with all my CUSTOM WOOD PENS for a classy gift presentation. No cheap plastic boxes here! Included in each case is a wood identification card and refill instructions for the custom pen you have ordered.

Need Laser Engraving?

It's only $10.00 additional per pen. Engraving shows up best on light colored woods like the birdseye maple example shown below, or pink ivory, deer antler, Ancient Kauri Wood, or rosewood. It will not show up as well on dark woods like cocobolo, ebony, or multi-colored Dymondwood, and is not recommended!
For Bethlehem Olive Wood, due to the tremendous grain activity - I recommend engraving the maple gift box instead of the pen itself.
For best results, please limit your text to one line of 14 characters maximum, including spaces. Laser engraved items are not returnable.

Be sure to click Item #100 (below) to add engraving to your order (indicate either pen or box)
