Bowlerite Cambridge Pen
This beauty is a one and only Bowlerite Cambridge-style pen. Bowlerite is derived from up-cycled bowling balls that have been cut apart. There are very few pieces that are large enough to make pens from. I am fortunate to have a friend that just happens to cut up bowling balls and was able to get some that I could play with. Here is the outcome.
Specifications
This pen measures 5.5" (13.97cm) long (closed) by .5" (.19cm) wide (cap). It weighs 2.2oz (62.3g).
The hardware is Titanium gold and Black Titanium.
Construction
The very first thing I do is hand select each piece and then turn the pen to its final shape. The pen is then sanded 7 times with progressively finer grits of sandpaper, to create a very smooth surface. Multiple different glues and waxes are applied to protect the pen for years of hard use. Each pen goes through a 21 step process to achieve the lustrous polished to a mirror-like shine.
This Bowlerite Cambridge Pen comes in a custom Maple/Walnut wooden box. The pen and box that you see in the pictures is the one you will receive.
