Would you
like to own one of the world's
oldest writing instruments?
Ancient Kauri from New Zealand is
the world's oldest workable timber!
Certified wood from the prehistoric Kauri
forests that grew 30,000-50,000 years ago!
The wood is
interesting to work
with and provides many challenges to the woodturner! It sands and
finishes to a very nice state due to proprietary finishing steps I have
developed for this unique material. The grain has
some iridescence, and is a warm "cognac" color.
Each wood pen includes a copy of the original certificate of
authenticity
supplied to me by Ancient Woods.com, plus the free maple gift case
shown below.
My price is only $65 for the ballpoint , and $75
for the rollerball.

"The prehistoric Kauri
forests that grew 30,000-50,000 years ago are preserved under the
surface of
the North Island of New Zealand. These incredible trees grew for nearly
2000 years before they were buried. Some have a girth of around 40 feet,
and a total height of nearly 200
feet. They are among the largest trees in the world. Buried under a peat swamp by
an unexplained act of nature, the trees have survived the centuries in
an underground resting place, sealed in a chemically balanced
environment that has preserved the timber in perfect condition.
Extensive
scientific
Radio Carbon Dating tests have done on samples of Ancient Kauri by
independent organizations that include: The University
of New Zealand in Waikato The University
of Sydney, Australia The New Zealand Institute of Nuclear
Science Beta
Analytic Inc. of Miami, Florida,
the United States leading laboratory for radio carbon dating analyses. Dating has proven beyond doubt
that
these Kauri forests grew during the period 30,000 to more then 50,000
years ago."
