Looking for wooden hand made Mont Blanc pens?

This sounds like nonsense since Mont Blanc manufacturer uses its own proprietary technology and materials in craftsmanship and design. Wood is not something to be found in Mont Blanc pens, you have better chance of finding silver, gold or diamonds in a Montblanc writing instrument.

But there are individuals hand-making wooden pens copying the style of world known manufacturers like Cross, Mont Blanc, Parker, Waterman. While you may be safer buying an authentic Cross or Parker, it is different with Mont Blanc fountain pens because of their price tag (often well into $ 1k). Plus, owning a hand made Mont Blanc pen give a peculiar feeling of a distinguishing feature in your pen collection. And if it is a gift, it is an absolutely great gift!

So you might want to look for craftsmen working with wood to make the Mont Blanc style pens.
Look for pens that are quality custom pens turned on a lathe. Avoid imported and cheap reproduction pens (otherwise called ‘replicas’). I am sorry but if that is what you are looking for you are at the wrong site. The craftsman should personally inspect every blank and part used in the making of the pens and give at least one year satisfaction guarantee on every pen.

Some are in the styles of the Mont Blanc pens, Cross pens and Parker pens but all are designed and hand made by individual craftsmen. Some of them also make inlayed, engraved, scrimshaw pens as well as letter openers, key chains and other wood products all by hand. No two pieces are ever exactly alike (if you remember, even crazy priced Mont Blanc limited editions are made thousands of copies, 4810 to be exact). The woods should all be finished with lacquer to give them a good durable finish to ensure the reliable use of pens. The items are then polished and waxed to give maximum protection. Craftsmen work with Exotic woods from around the world as well as most domestic woods from the USA. Many of the woods will vary in color of the wood slightly and in the grain pattern but if you are buying a set they will try to match them as close as possible for you. Most of these woods can have inlays or scrimshaw work added to them. The best thing about wooden hand made Mont Blanc pens is that you can have one for under $100 each, with the guarantee that your fountain pen is absolutely unique under the Sun!

For those who rather prefer something other material than wood some individual wood pen makers have Aqua pearl and polyester resin pens. These make a very rich looking pen and is used for many of the more expensive pens made today.
If you love “Mont Blanc” style pens, hand made wooden instrument is a pen you would love to add to your collection, as it will quickly become your favorite pen when writing in your journal, writing letters, planning your schedule in your planner or simply balancing your checkbook.

While with factury-made Montblanc pens you cannot ask for any customization like engraving, it is very possible to have such in case you order a writing instrument the style of ‘wooden hand made Mont Blanc pens’. Some craftsmen will be happy to accept your requests for customization. Plus, they might offer a better support than a monster international company. Personal attitude is something especially worth these days!
