The Ebony Wood 360 combines the triangular
form and full size (5 7/8" capped) of this Omas workhorse with an ebony overlay.
Omas has solved a problem that plagued their wood pens in the past. Because wood
is an organic material that shrinks or expands with changes in humidity, it was
vulnerable to cracking, especially at the cap lip and at the edge of the barrel.
This new pen is banded at the cap lip and secured at the barrel edge, greatly
minimizing this possibility. Although ebony is a very hard and dense wood and
is finished with a varnish, care must be taken with all wood pens to avoid staining
them with ink.
The fit and finish on these caps and
barrels is remarkable. The milled wood surfaces beautifully match the metal.
The section is stamped "925" followed by a hallmark showing a star,
"144" and "BO", all indicating a sterling silver casting.
Notice the elegant transition between the wooden barrel and the gripping section.
As with all polished metallic surfaces, this one will mar if not handled carefully.
This pen combines
the smooth lines of the 360 series with a sensual material, ebony wood. We can
provide a full range of nib sizes for this pen, EF to OBB.
