Broad Twist Pen
Handmade Tasmanian Blackwood Broad Twist Pen – Australian Native Timber
$69.95
Available
Hand-turned from Tasmanian Blackwood (Acacia melanoxylon), a native timber loved for its warm golden-brown colour and the rippling figure that runs through the better boards. This is our broader pen — a fuller barrel that sits with real weight and presence in the hand, for those who prefer a more substantial pen than a slimline. Finished to a glass-smooth shine and fitted with a smooth twist-action mechanism.
Because Blackwood is a natural timber, each pen is individually hand-turned — the grain and colour of your pen will be similar but not identical to the one shown. Every piece is one of a kind.
Choose your hardware finish: chrome, gun metal or gold.
• Broader barrel for a comfortable, substantial grip
• Twist-action ballpoint
• Takes a standard Cross-style refill
• Wipe clean with a soft cloth; keep out of prolonged direct sun

About the timber
Tasmanian Blackwood (Acacia melanoxylon)
A little about the timber: Tasmanian Blackwood is an acacia native to south-eastern Australia, most associated with Tasmania. It's warm golden-brown to reddish in colour, and the best boards carry a striking rippling or fiddleback figure that shifts in the light. A relative of Hawaiian koa, it's moderately dense (around 660 kg/m³, Janka hardness roughly 5.5 kN) and turns beautifully — long favoured for furniture, musical instruments and fine turnery thanks to its workability and lustrous finish.
A note on materials
Every piece has its own grain.
Timber colour, grain, and figure naturally vary. The piece you receive will share the listed material and design, but it will not be visually identical to every photograph. Natural variation is not a defect, and change-of-mind returns are not accepted. Shipping & returns
