Roasted Oak, Antique Brass Deer Hunter
This bolt action deer hunter pen has been made with a lathe turned roasted oak wood blank. The antique brass finish mixed with this dark grained wood makes for a beautifully unique pen combination. This pen is equipped with standard black ink.
Roasted oak subjects white oak to a torrification process in which the wood is heated beyond the combustion point in an anoxic environment (so that it doesn’t actually burn). This is like an accelerated aging process by removing the volatiles that usually take many years to oxidize and mineralize. A fascinating thing about torrefied wood is that unlike stains the color permeates through the entire thickness of the material as opposed to the first surface layers. Roasted oak is a milk chocolate brown color, darker than walnut with a less knotty grain structure.
