Hermitage Wood Round Top Fountain Pen

Custom woodcrafter Dale Penn has been crafting pens from domestic hardwoods in Tennessee since 1996. Each pen is individually handcrafted with great care.

Our Round Top Fountain Pens are hand-crafted from felled trees on the Hermitage grounds.

The Round Top Fountain Pen is a large two-piece pen with a round top. The top unscrews from the bottom to write with the instrument. The ink cartridge is replaced by unscrewing the nib end on the pen. Fountain pens come with a medium German Iridium nib.

An ink cartridge is already loaded and included with each pen.

 Wood choices:

• cherry  (silver or gold accents)
  
• walnut (silver or gold accents)

• tulip poplar (silver or gold accents)
  

Each pen comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, declaring the wood was harvested from trees felled during the 1998 tornado at Andrew Jackson's Hermitage. 

A tornado on April 16, 1998, toppled more than 1,200 trees on the Hermitage property. Andrew Jackson himself directed the planting of many of the trees damaged or destroyed by the storm. The majority of the fallen trees were the oldest and largest specimens on site, with an average circumference greater than eight feet.

Round Top fountain pen refill cartridges are available at hobby and office supply stores. Be sure to use fountain pen refills, not calligraphy pen refills, due to the different viscosity of ink.
