PURLE BURL BALLPOINT PEN
This pen is handcrafted Purple Burl Ballpoint Pen uses maple burl, a rare part of the tree known for its wild, swirling patterns. To make it last a lifetime, the wood is stabilized with resin and dyed a deep, vibrant purple. Once turned to precise size by hand, I then apply ten thin layers of finish, polishing it until it’s as smooth and shiny as glass. Because every piece of wood is different, the pen you hold is truly a one-of-a-kind original.
Beyond its looks, this pen is built for daily use. The metal components give it a weight not found in disposable plastic pens. This design features a diamond-textured metal band that makes it easy to grip and comfortable to hold for long periods. Finished with a sturdy, elegant clip, it’s a reliable writing tool that combines the raw beauty of nature with a clean, professional feel.
PRICE IS PER EACH.
Ballpoint Pen
The ballpoint pens operate by twisting the body of the pen to advance and retract the Parker Style ink refills. I recommend the EasyFLOW 9000, which are available for sale through this website (also widely available through Amazon and other retailers0.To access the ink refill, simply unscrew the front of the pen near the point and transfer the spring onto the new refill.

Unique Item
The Purple Burl Ballpoint Pen is a unique, one of a kind, handmade item. Every one that I make is unidentical to any other. Accordingly, the pen you receive will be very similar, but not necessarily the exact item in the photos. I’m happy to share a picture of the exact item upon request. If you wish to purchase more items than I have in stock, please contact me to discuss my inventory and schedule.
Backorder Available
If you don’t see the item that you were hoping to purchase listed here, please contact me. Should I happen to be out of stock on a particular item, I could make a similar one for you as long as I have the materials on hand (and I try to keep materials on hand). Fortunately it would only take about 2 weeks to complete an item and get it ready for mailing or pickup once payment has been completed. Thanks!
Care Instructions
To make sure your Purple Burl Ballpoint Pen lasts for years, follow these simple care instructions.
First, protect the pen from its environment. The pen is made from naturally durable materials, but it can still react to extreme conditions. For this reason, avoid exposing your pen to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures, and don’t leave it in a car on a hot day. Similarly, avoid storing the pen in a humid basement. While the finish is designed to protect the pen, extreme heat, cold, humidity, and sunlight can all negatively impact its appearance and integrity. However, if you keep your pen indoors in a climate-controlled environment, I reasonably expect you will not encounter any problems for the lifetime of your pen.
Additionally, store and clean your pen properly. When you aren’t using the pen, store it in the provided gift box or a protective pen sleeve to preserve its finish. Finally, periodically clean your pen with a soft, damp cloth.
