This is a Juniper Father Sing pen. Designed by author and professional woodturner Dick "Father" Sing, this pen is Dick's favorite style pen. The narrow, larger diameter center band gives the finished pen a double-taper look reminiscent of traditional "click" style ball point pens. The pen is made with durable 10k gold plated accents and uses a Cross® style refill that features a premium Swiss-made carbide writing tip for smooth consistent writing. To replace the refill, pull off top of pen above the center band and twist out the refill. A highly polished lacquer finish was used to protect the wood. These hand made pens and pencils make wonderful gifts and are absolute treasures to own!
