A Piece of History: This pencil offers a direct connection to ancient times. Crafted from oak that predates the Pyramids of Giza by approximately 600 years, it brings the past into your hands.

Moreover, the body of the pencil showcases the natural beauty of the ancient oak. Elegant brass fittings add both durability and a touch of sophistication. Skilled craftsmen hand-build each pencil. Therefore, you can expect a smooth and comfortable grip, ideal for extended use.
Elegant Design: The combination of ancient bog oak and brass creates a stunning visual contrast. This contrast enhances the pencil’s timeless appeal. Additionally, the sleek, ergonomic design makes it a pleasure to hold and use. The 2mm lead delivers bold, consistent lines for detailed work and expressive sketches.
Perfect Gift: Presented in a beautifully crafted gift box, the 2mm Bog Oak Clutch Pencil makes an extraordinary gift. It is perfect for history enthusiasts, artists, designers, and anyone who appreciates fine craftsmanship. Each pencil also includes a certificate of authenticity, highlighting its unique origin and story.
How Bog Oak is Created:
Bog Oak refers to oak buried in peat bogs for hundreds or even thousands of years. These unique conditions, characterized by low oxygen levels, protect the wood from typical decay. Additionally, the peat provides an acidic environment where iron salts and other minerals react with the natural tannins in the wood. Over time, this reaction gradually darkens the oak, giving it a deep brown to nearly black colour. The most common source of Bog Oak is English Oak, frequently found in the United Kingdom.
Key Features:

I have bought the Stainless Steel Writer Pen after being allowed to try a colleague’s own pen. I bought mine that very night; I was so impressed with it. And I haven’t been let down! Then I bought the 5,100 Year Old Bog Oak Pencil. I mean, to hold in your hands something that is that ancient is stunning. Both pen and pencil are such a delight to hold, to use. Truly lovely.
