Get back to nature with our naked timber pen range. We leave the timber bare but silky smooth. No chemicals or lacquers are applied during finishing, just a friction polish that creates a natural texture that is warm and grounding. With use, the timber takes on a lovely natural patina.

The Workshop Sketch pencil has a broad, bold form, and is unbelievably comfortable in the hand. It is equally at home in the workshop, man cave or an artist's hand. This chubby pencil reduces hand strain and also allows a decent grip for people who have limited hand dexterity.

Black Bean Timber

Black bean is an Australian native rainforest tree with dark-brown to almost black timber and can sometimes be streaked with lighter coloured striated lines. The black bean tree was a seasonal gathering point for Aboriginal peoples, and the wood was used by to make spear throwers. Traditionally the bark fibre was used for fish and animal traps, nets and baskets. Black bean derives its name from the large bean-like fruit which hang down like pendants. The timber in this pen has been harvested locally from the Moreton Bay region in Queensland.
