“Golden Burl” Postable Rollerball Pen – Black Locust Burl & Chrome

A stunning celebration of nature’s wild artistry: this rollerball is hand-turned from a rare block of black locust burl, delivering a mesmerizing landscape of tight golden curls, birdseyes, and dramatic dark streaks that dance across a honey-blonde background.

Key Features & Highlights

• Material: 100% genuine black locust burl (Robinia pseudoacacia) – prized for its insane figure and naturally warm, buttery color that deepens to amber with age and handling.
• Finish: Turned thin for maximum chatoyancy, then polished to a flawless glass-like sheen that makes the burl eyes pop and shift with every angle of light.
• Hardware: Bright chrome plating – elegant Greek-key center band, smooth curved clip, and polished cap finial that perfectly complement the golden tones.
• Postable Cap: Secure magnetic posting for perfect balance and added length when writing (posts with a satisfying click).
• Refill: Premium Schmidt 888 ceramic rollerball in black medium – silky-smooth and effortless flow.
• Dimensions: Capped 5.4″ (137 mm) | Posted 6.7″ (170 mm) | Max diameter ~0.56″ (14.2 mm)
• Weight: Hefty yet perfectly balanced – the dense burl gives it a luxurious, substantial feel in the hand.

Black locust burl is notoriously difficult to work with, but when it hits like this piece, the result is pure magic.
