✍️ Handcrafted Irish Wood Pen – The Half Slimline Collection
Looking for a thoughtful, handcrafted gift without breaking the bank? This Half Slimline pen blends natural Irish wood with a practical, everyday design — perfect for writing, journaling, or gifting. Turned by hand in my Tralee, Co. Kerry workshop, each pen showcases the unique grain and texture of locally sourced hardwood.
Normally, this pen style would be slimline all the way, but I prefer the feel of a slightly wider lower barrel — it offers a more comfortable grip and gives the pen a stronger visual presence. I'm offering these pens at an introductory discount while I finalise pricing, and while the ink quality may not match my premium Sirocco pens, it’s still great for everyday use. This pen is one of the widest I've turned if that suits your style.
🎁 A Gift That’s Practical & Personal
Whether it’s for a birthday, thank-you gift, or just a little something for yourself, this budget-friendly Irish wood pen proves that useful can still be beautiful. With a clean, modern shape and smooth writing action, it’s a great choice for anyone who appreciates quality Irish craft.
🎁 Supplied in a simple felt sleeve – no plastic packaging, just honest Irish craft.
A higher-quality gift box can be purchased separately from my main Irish Wood Pens page if you'd prefer.
🌿 Local Irish Wood with Character
I craft these pens using storm-fallen or salvaged Irish hardwood, carefully chosen for its appearance and feel. This range features a flat-top barrel to support a sturdy clip, paired with a curved lower section that sits comfortably in the hand — practical design meets artisan touch.
✒️ Made to Write (and Keep Writing)
Each pen is fitted with a standard ink refill and offers a balanced shape for daily use. Like all my pens, it’s refillable, so it can be enjoyed for years instead of ending up in a drawer. I recommend getting a Parker Refill 8513 - Ballpoint Pens which can be bought in most stationary shops like Easons,
