Who says cats can’t be blue? Recently delivered to a client in Melbourne, Australia, this fetching cat with blue sparkle alumilite on chromed hardware. The piece was cut, sanded and polished to usual Wolverine standards. It uses Parker-type refills. Stay tuned for more crazy cats.

If you are in eastern Manitoba on the Labour Day long weekend (Saturday and Sunday, September 5 and 6), please stop by the 4P Festival craft sale in Pine Falls (at the arena, 11 Elm Street) and say hello.

This pen is part of a series of budget Manager rollerballs. It features an alumilite urethane barrel and cap in a pattern called ‘taffy’ on gunmetal hardware. The piece went through cutting, sanding and finishing to usual Wolverine standards. It uses readily available, Parker-type rollerball or gel refills.

Please note: I will attend a 2-day craft and art sale in Pine Falls on the labour day long weekend. The accompanying festival is a late summer highlight in eastern Manitoba.

I erred a couple days ago when reposting a Nordic rollerball with golden amboyna burl. I originally posted it about a month ago. This is the piece I ought to have posted. My apologies for repetition.

This is a Nordic rollerball pen with spalted sycamore wood on bright and satin gold hardware. Spalted wood, much treasured by penwrights and collectors, has bacterial growth in dying wood. Each colony is ringed by black lines. Note the stylized fish on the centre band of this piece. The rollerball uses readily available Parker-type refills.

Recently sold, this delightful Nordic rollerball pen with rare Kampuchean golden amboyna burl on 22Kt bright gold with satin gold highlights. Note the stylized fish on the centre band. This pen was cut, sanded, finished and polished to usual Wolverine standards. It uses easily replaceable Parker-type refills. Please let me know if you absolutely must have a Nordic pen for yourself or gift purposes. I’ll be delighted to make it for you.

Here’s a Sierra ballpoint pen with spectacular teal-dyed curly maple burl on black hardware with gold trim. The piece was profiled, sanded, and finished with friction polish to usual WolverineWood standards. This writing implement uses Parker-type refills.

Note: I’ll attend the art/artisan show and sale at Sioux Narrows this coming August 1st and 2nd weekend. Please stop by if in the area.

As mentioned in previous posts, I’ll attend a 2-day art show and sale on August 1 and 2 long weekend in Sioux Narrows, Ontario. I try to have cat pens available for sales events as they are very popular and sell quickly. What you see here is a cat atop a sparkly purple acrylic with chrome hardware. The centre band features silhouettes of cats in various postures while the nib piece has cat paw prints. If you are interested, I can construe a cat pen to your specifications.

This ‘Nordic' rollerball is a customer favourite. The piece has a simple elegance highlighted by cast fish on a satin gold centre band. Amboyna burl comes from Narra trees in south-east Asian countries such as Laos. Golden amboyna burl is a rare variant of the usually red burl. I cut this rollerball with a reduced profile. It is sanded and finished with friction polish to usual Wolverine standards. The pen uses Parker-type refills.

I will attend the 2-day art festival and sale in Sioux Narrows, Ontario, on 1st and 2nd August. Please drop by if in the area.

To the person who sent me a message on Facebook (initials U.B.), I’m sorry but I can’t reply to your message on Facebook. I did send you my email address, so can you please use it to contact. Thanks. Shannon @ Wolverinewood.
