Platinum Gel Ink Pens

All of the pens on this page use the Pilot G2 gel (or) Zebra "Orbitz" Archival, Acid-free Gel ink refills (or) Schmidt ceramic refills. These pens have Platinum fittings(specifically this Rhodium is the hardest member of the Platinum family of metals) and are the finest executive pens that I craft. They are two-piece pens and the cap is "posting", meaning that it screws on both ends, to prevent loss of the cap. The "screw type" of posting is definitely superior to the "friction" press-on type of posting pens that you may see around. A pen of my quality typically sells for $120 or more elsewhere! My price is only $55 unless indicated otherwise.
These are all upgradeable to fountain pens with solid 14k -585 nibs! See link at the bottom of this page to add the upgrade kit.

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

Bethlehem Olive Wood is the most beautiful wood I have ever worked with. Each pen is more striking and figured than the one before. Includes a certificate of authentication that the wood came from prunings from trees in Bethlehem (no trees were damaged) - The price of the Bethlehem Olive wood pens is $65.

For Bethlehem Olive Wood, due to the tremendous grain activity - if you want engraving,
I recommend engraving the maple gift box instead of the pen itself.

The following pens are $75, are dyed, double-dyed, spalted, and/or
stabilized woods, and also include the free maple gift box.

Custom "Tru-Stone" Rollerballs & Fountain Pens

I have turned a wide variety of materials over the past ten years while crafting my high quality writing instruments, and have always sought to find something that was unique, beautiful, workable on the lathe, and highly collectible by pen lovers everywhere. I have been able to achieve this through using natural materials like deer antler and exotic woods like Bethlehem olive wood. In my search I have also turned acrylics and celluloids. I am now introducing a new manmade high-end material, that when paired with my Platinum fittings and free maple wood boxes makes for a spectacular presentation! The material is called "Tru-Stone" and it is more difficult than wood and antler to turn, but still possible with patience and expertise. "Tru Stone" is manufactured by pulverizing semi-precious stones into fine particles, combining them with other natural pigments and materials then reforming them under heat and pressure. The resulting material looks almost exactly like marble and has a good heft to it, without being heavy like actual marble would be. It is expensive to purchase and takes almost twice as much time to turn as most exotic hardwoods, so I have priced these a bit higher, at $85. You will see this material being used in pens elsewhere on the internet that sell for up to $145.00, so I believe my price is reasonable and a good value. Remember, all my rollerballs and fountain pens have Platinum fittings. That's the absolute best you can buy! Please compare before you buy - and don't settle for less.

The following pens are crafted from CELLULOID, a very popular manmade material that has been used since the 1930's to craft some of the finest pens in the world that sell for hundreds of dollars each! This material is more difficult to work with than any wood, but the finished pen has a mirror-like finish, a brilliant array of colors, and a translucent, iridescent quality.
The rollerballs are priced at $75 and use the Pilot G2 gel refills (or) Zebra "Orbitz" Archival, Acid-free Gel ink refills. Refills for both types are readily available in your choice of point sizes and ink colors from office supply stores, drugstores, and many other retailers.

I am crafting these pens, with PLATINUM fittings. Please compare anywhere on the internet with other Platinum Celluloid pens. Enjoy a great writing experience with custom flair, that will elicit comments from anyone who sees your writing instrument!

Are you a serious pen collector who will use only high quality fountain pens? You may choose any of the CUSTOM WOOD PENS from this 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!

Need Laser Engraving?

First, be sure to allow one week for engraving - that's the time it takes the engraving service after I craft the pen.
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, or rosewood. It will not show up as well on dark woods like cocobolo, ebony, or multi-colored Dymondwood, tru-stone or celluloid, and is not recommended! For best results on pens, please limit your text to one line of 14 characters maximum, including spaces. For boxes you may engrave up to two lines of text. Laser engraved items are not returnable.

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

LASER ENGRAVING ITEM #100Add to CCNow Cart

New for 2006! If you choose a dark wood, Bethlehem Olive Wood, or patterned dymondwood for your pen, you may wish to have the maple gift box engraved, instead of the pen (not both) Just specify "engrave the box" in the special instructions.
Here is an example of an engraved maple gift box: Again, be sure to add item #100 Laser Engraving (shown above)
