Stabilized Wood Wooden Body Ballpoint Pen [One-of-a-Kind] M9 This is a handmade wooden body ballpoint pen using stabilized wood. This time, we used the popular "Karin Kome" (Karin burl) for the stabilized wood, and the material itself has a very unique expression. The dyeing and resin impregnation vary depending on the fiber density of the material, and there are areas that are difficult to dye in some places. Therefore, it has a unique finish that combines the natural texture of the wood with artificial coloring. *The purple areas are where the stabilizer has dyed. *No box included. The pen tip protection has been removed during assembly confirmation. ● Refill: Replacement refill A type CROSS Oil-based ballpoint pen refill 8514 Mitsubishi Pencil Oil-based ballpoint pen refill SK-8, etc. ● Finish: 400 grit + beeswax ● Weight: 20.2g ● Length: 132mm (Maximum width of wooden shaft: 12.8mm) Care: Apply beeswax or oil regularly with a soft cloth, and after about 20-30 minutes, wipe it off with a soft cloth. Advantages of Stabilized Wood: High Durability: The resin impregnation improves the strength of the wood, allowing for long-term use. Beautiful Color: Because it is dyed throughout, the color will not fade even after polishing or cutting. Moisture Resistant: It is less likely to deform or crack due to changes in humidity, and maintains a stable condition. Disadvantages and Precautions: Individual Differences: Because natural wood is used, there are individual differences in the grain and color. Please understand these as characteristics of natural materials. Degree of Resin Penetration: Depending on the density and characteristics of the wood, there may be areas where the resin and dye have not completely penetrated. Possibility of Color Transfer: Immediately after use, color may transfer to your hands or clothing, so please be careful.
