CONVERTIBLE CHAKTE VIGA INK PEN

I created this convertible ink pen using a handsome piece of Chakte Viga hardwood from Mexico. The pen is designed to convert from a fountain pen nib to a rollerball refill. To change between fountain pen and rollerball, simply unscrew the metal section underneath the cap (and mind not to misplace the rollerball spring). Once cut to perfect size on the lathe, the pen was finished with a mixture of walnut oil, wax and protective shellac. The metal components are black-chrome plated.

CONVERTIBLE CHAKTE VIGA PEN

Unique Item No. 0597

I created this convertible ink pen using a handsome piece of Chakte Viga hardwood from Mexico. The pen converts between a fountain pen nib to a rollerball refill. It includes both sections so that you can choose how to use it at home. To change between fountain pen and rollerball, simply unscrew the metal section underneath the cap (and mind not to misplace the rollerball spring). Once cut to perfect size on the lathe, I finished the pen with a mixture of walnut oil, wax and protective shellac. The metal components are black-chrome plated.

Ink Refills:

As a rollerball, this pen uses rollerball style ink refills. I recommend the Schmidt 5888 ink refills (Amazon Affiliate Link), which are widely available through Amazon and other retailers.

As a fountain pen, it will accept short international standard ink cartridges. To refill the ink, simply unscrew the metal section behind the nib.

Gift Box

Each of my handmade pens comes in a handsome Ink & Timber gift box.
