About Our Fine Writing Instruments

To our valued customers, we provide the best of the best for writing with wood. Continuing in the tradition of recognized design experts such as Cross, Parker, Montblanc, Waterman, and Kartsotis (of Retro 51), none of whom specialize only in wood designs, we offer our customers a choice in excellence. The difference is our collaboration of design consultants and artists have reduced the hundreds of good designs into a small grouping of the finest few; in essence we have separated the many candidates from the few that truly represent the finest of fine designs. This permits us to focus our considerable talents on Product Quality, Product Value and Total Customer Satisfaction. The five premium styles that make up our Excellence in Design line are:

The Traditional - Designed as a ball point the Traditional is a favorite choice of many. The slender willowy athletic silhouette is the essence of simplicity blending function with style. Twist to open, twist to close. It is our most popular lightweight writing instrument. For most users, regardless of hand size a perfect fit between finger, thumb and palm can be found amongst the various artistic creations offered. The overall feel is one of simple elegance.

The Professional- Designed as a Gel-writer only, the Professional is but slightly larger than the Traditional, but still retains the simple slenderness shape. Click to open, click to close. First time users will be amazed at the smooth writing results. It makes the job of writing that thank you note easier.

The Colossal- Three designs, Ball Point, Roller Ball, and Fountain Pen. The 'Colossal' has the durable look. Like the Hummer SUV, one cannot mistake it for something else. Users have a variety of descriptive words, such as: vigorous, tough, hefty, hearty, and sturdy. Some claim the Colossal inspires them to be bolder, less passive, more decisive, and to write more aggressively. With this pen in hand it does seem to bring out the active adjectives. From the TRS design group comes this comment: "The 'Colossal' is not for writing your standard sympathetic 'get well' note, though it can be controlled."

The Executive - Two designs: Whether Roller Ball or Fountain Pen both designs blend excellence and style with superior clear, clean dependable strokes for your writing pleasure. Easy to use - the top screws off the bottom exposing the special nib and screws back on to the top providing proper balance while you write. With classic performance and style the Executive will draw looks of envy from peer groups as you initial their performance ratings.

The Diplomat - Designed only as a Fountain Pen this extraordinary writing instrument is the perfect subtle symbol to quietly reflect self-confidence and an unassuming influential presence, both indicative of strong personal character. This is the ideal tool for existing and future CEOs and their ambitious, but loyal staff. All that and beauty, too!

The PentaStellar Fountain Pen - Offers a blend of ink history with modern design and functionality. Specially formulated Dragon's Blood ink which is PH balanced comes with this fountain pen. This is a 5 star premium pen exhibiting a 24kt gold plated nib with an irridium tip. Handcrafted barrel in exotic bloodwood.

What is Dragon's Blood ink?
Inks have been used throughout history and colored inks were the most prized. Red inks were used to highlight elements of the text from antiquity, and other colors began to appear by the ninth century. Dragon's Blood ink is known to be a historical ink. It exhibits a deep burgundy red color that is derived from a plant resin. The resin is from a species of plant known as Calamus Draco. The Dragon's Blood ink also exhibits a perfumed scent, which also added to the popularity of this ink. The perfumed scent is a characteristic of the resin which is also used to produce incense.
