Burr Oak Pen Pot

This pen pot has been handturned from burr oak. It has a wax finish that has been buffed to a deep, rich shine. Perfect for the home office or as a talking point for your desk in the office at work.
 
Burrs occur on trees when a foreign object or a localised fungus gets into the tree. The tree puts extra effort into this area of the tree, with many dormant buds being formed in an effort to protect itself. When the tree is eventually felled, these burrs exhibit fascinating and unpredicatble grain patterns.
