FAQs: Have some questions about your pen?
Well you're in the right place.
PEN CARE
How do I care for my pen?
Wood Pens: To care for your pen, a gentle wipe with a dry cloth keeps the pen clean, if you wish to go a step further a natural wax polish should clear any wear marks. Personally, I prefer to use the pen and let the wear of the waxes and shellac create an almost leathery, matte surface which has better grip to the hand and holds up for years of hard writing.
Resin Pens: Simply wipe over with a soft cloth.
Where can I buy refills?

Dickens Pens (rollerball) – Schmidt style ink refill
Bronte Pens (ballpoint) – Parker style ink refill

CREATIVE
How do you make them?
By hand, one at a time on a wood turners lathe. It’s a lengthy process of cutting wood pieces, building the barrels, turning the wood into shape and applying the oils (the fun stuff), and assembling the pen with the mechanisms, trim and ink.
