In Curly Maple, the grain is wavy through the length of the board. The result is that when the wavy grain is planed flat, it appears to look ruffled, or tiger-striped, due to the waviness in the grain. Though rare and difficult to find, Spalted Maple with its eye catching black wavy streaks, is in high demand. Spalted Maple starts as a regular Maple until decay causes a black marble pattern to form, making it anything but a commodity. Get your hands on this big, handsome, powerfully built writing instrument that are perfect for anyone who likes a more substantial pen. Mounted on a Ti Gold pen body with a postable cap to keep the balance. This Rollerball pen features well-balanced and classic styling with a Schmidt rollerball refill. The ink found in the rollerball gives the pen a different writing style which is closer to the smoothness found in a fountain pen without the mess.
