They are inexpensive and widely-available. The ink is black and the pen is awesome. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those who don't know about spalting: Spalting occurs to hardwoods when they pass away and (usually) fall to the ground. At that point, the wood begins to decay. That process starts with a fungal infiltration. It follows the tree's vascular system and creates black lines in the wood. It must be harvested at just the right time to get maximum coloring without the rot that eventually comes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs always, the wood was responsibly sourced from fallen timber. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e**The handmade pens are just that. Made by hand. One at a time. On a lathe. By a guy. Because they are made by hand, they are also completely unique. The one that you receive and cherish will be slightly different than the one that is pictured. It will also be a little different from the one that you order for your dad. And your Uncle Zeke. (Zeke is going to love this!)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sawmill 309","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52277745516831,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/3133\/8015\/files\/TheGordon1.jpg?v=1774703895","url":"https:\/\/sawmill309.com\/products\/the-gordon","provider":"Sawmill 309","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
