Those moments in our lives when we stand tall with hearts full of pride are truly unforgettable. The Tradizionale Collection of unique wooden pens reminds us of these times with accents in warm golden metals combined with classic shapes and cherished wood. Stylish and richly detailed Cocobolo wood has been polished to a brilliant sheen that makes the wooden pens glisten in the light. The wood becomes smoother to the touch each time the wooden pen is used, making it more personal with the passing years. In the tradition of fine writing instruments, the Tradizionale Fountain Pen is designed for use with the cap unattached to the wood pen to ensure effortless writing and balance.
Due to its tremendous beauty and durability, Cocobolo (Dalbergia retusa) is a highly-prized wood. The heartwood displays a vivid range of rich colors including dark reds and browns with traces of purple, black, yellow and orange weaved throughout. The sapwood, however, is so pale it is creamy white. Cocobolo contains natural oils that give the wood a sheen similar to a highly polished marble, and like marble, it is so dense it will not float. Cocobolo is a rosewood native to South American rainforests. It can also be found in Pacific regions of Central America from Panama to Mexico and in growing areas in Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Trees are medium-sized, growing to 45-60 ft in height, with irregularly shaped trunks that are 2-3 ft in diameter. The wood is uniquely figured as a result of oddly formed stems. The trees have large, leathery leaves and tiny yellow flowers that bloom and then later turn to long, flat seedpods. After the Panama Canal opened in 1912, sea merchants no longer had to battle South America's treacherous Cape Horn, and they finally risked transporting this wood to New England. Since then it has remained a traditional favorite, for its stunning colors are
unmatched.
