The First One Hundred

No. 30

Handcrafted from Honduran Rosewood (Dalbergia stevensonii), this fountain pen brings together warm golden-brown tones, deep natural figuring, and a polished rounded form. The contrast within the wood gives the piece a vivid, organic presence, while the satin metal accents add a quiet contemporary balance.

This fountain pen is handcrafted from Honduran Rosewood (Dalbergia stevensonii), a dense and highly expressive tropical hardwood known for its rich colour, stability, and naturally dramatic grain. The material reveals a warm spectrum of honey, amber, and brown tones, crossed by darker veins that appear almost black in places. These natural transitions give the pen a strong visual identity, making each angle of the body slightly different from the next.

Material, surface and intention.

This fountain pen is handcrafted from Honduran Rosewood (Dalbergia stevensonii), a dense and highly expressive tropical hardwood known for its rich colour, stability, and naturally dramatic grain. The material reveals a warm spectrum of honey, amber, and brown tones, crossed by darker veins that appear almost black in places. These natural transitions give the pen a strong visual identity, making each angle of the body slightly different from the next.

The rounded silhouette keeps the object calm and comfortable in the hand, while the polished finish enhances the depth of the wood and brings out the contrast between lighter sapwood-like areas and the darker figuring. Satin metal components introduce a clean, modern note without overpowering the natural character of the material.

The pen is fitted with a two-tone fine nib from the same manufacturer, selected for precise, controlled writing with a refined line. Together, the expressive Honduran Rosewood body and the balanced writing assembly create a fountain pen intended not only as a functional writing instrument, but also as a tactile, collectible object shaped around the individuality of the wood.
