Based on A.A. Milne’s stories set in the 100 Acre Wood, this pen is inspired by Owl and fittingly named.  Using a once off casting with Owl’s main body colors and a piece of spalted Beech from the 100 Acre Wood in England, this pen turns heads with subtle beauty.

The hand engraved copper trim mimics an actual wing, while the finial rounds out the ensemble with an owl’s face.  The copper will patina in time and have a wonderful glow that can be managed with oils from ones hand or a simple silver clothe.  To coordinate with the copper trim, a rose gold nib was used in all the pens.

Working with the Native Alaskan People we have been able to procure some of their excess Musk Ox horn.  The horn has an amazing grain and texture, but is smooth as silk and never gets cold.

A variety of colors were made and each has a hand forged Damascus clip to make those colors really pop.

What does the 4.0 in the name stand for?  This is the fourth annual edition of the FrankenPen series.  The 2022 pen went back to the roots of the design.  How many different materials and textures can be combined in an interesting and pleasing form?

Let’s start with the furniture, nickel silver, titanium, mokume gene, stainless steel, sterling silver and copper.  The balance is hand made blue jean micarta, in house resin, ceboplast and a Juma section.
