Briarwood Fountain Pens | |||
Matte Briarwood Deep |
|||
The first Briarwood that Nakaya produced was this model in a Matte Deep color. Many will recognize this wood as the material of quality smoking pipes (from back when they were in common use). This material also reminds us of the dashboard of a vintage Jaguar. |
|||
 |
|||
| With a "wasp waist" grip and no barrel threads, this original Nakaya design is easy to hold between the fingers. The solid 14K gold nib and gold plated trim complement the rich briarwood. | |||
 |
|||
| The richness of this color comes from the natural grain of this dense, durable and highly fire resistant wood. (Not that any one makes a practice of lighting their pen.) | |||
 |
|||
As with many objects made to last a very long time, this wood material will only grow richer with use. |
|||
|
|||
 |
|||
| Offered in a lighter color, this matt surface briarwood fountain pen shows a contrast between the ochre colored grain and the natural red of the briarwood. | |||
 |
|||
| Notice in the two pictures above that the grain runs through the pen showing some parts lighter and some darker. These pictures were taken of the same pen. | |||
 |
|||
| Each of these pens has its own material signature. | |||
|
|||
Gloss Briarwood Deep |
|||
 |
|||
This is the second generation finish from Nakaya on a briarwood pen. The glossy surface is the result of layers of clear urushi lacquers applied over briarwood. This adds to the cost of this pen beyond those seen above. Nakaya considers this finish the "bijoux of wood." |

Gloss Briarwood Deep Color $450.00 (Pictured here.) We can provide a Platinum converter used to fill this pen with ink in either the simple form or the painted "goldfish" design for an additional $21. The Nakaya nib, imprinted Nakata, the family name of the manufacturer is made of solid 14K gold. Each of these nibs is suitable for our customization to extra flexible. The medium and broad tip can be customized by us into cursive italic, stub or oblique points. |

Sensible and elegant packaging have been a hallmark of Nakaya. All Nakaya pens come packaged in handcrafted finery, as painstakingly constructed as the pens they protect. The heavy decorative rice paper, simple solid softwood
shipping box and fabric pouch make a lovely presentation for Nakaya Urushi pens. |
