Bloodwood Fountain Pens
If you'd like to see the full process of how these pens were made, check out the link here: https://youtu.be/woRgSvR5h2o
These fountain pens were made from bloodwood (also known as satine), a popular crimson wood species that can appear anywhere from a vivid red or dark pink to a brownish red over time. All pens were finished with 12-16 coats of thin cyanoacrylate (thin super glue), making them highly durable, virtually waterproof, and stain resistant. Owners of these pens should be cautious about letting them fall on hard surfaces, though, such as concrete, tile, or stone, as the finish may scratch or even crack. These are offered in 3 different pen kit colours (chrome, gold, or titanium black). All pens come with a disposable ink cartridge (black ink) and a reusable ink pump that can be used with any ink colour preference you may have.

Cleaning & Maintenance
For dust and dry debris, these pens should be cleaned off with a soft microfiber cloth or towel. If applying water to the towel, be sure to quickly dry the pen off once finished cleaning. While the cyanoacrylate finish on these pens is completely waterproof, this finish is only present on the outside of the pens and not in the seams between the bamboo/resin portions and the metal kit parts (thus, water may seep inside). For any light scratches that may develop on the pen with prolonged or heavy use, the original gloss can be restored by using a micro fine polishing paste, such as a plastic polish, or an automotive polishing product, such as Meguiars PlastX Plastic Cleaners.
DO NOT use any product containing acetone or similar solvents as these products will dissolve the pen finish.
