Kenilworth II — Walnut Burl

Not everything needs to shout to be noticed.

This Kenilworth II is turned from a beautifully figured Walnut Burl — and it's a wood that works completely differently to the more flamboyant exotics. Where Amboyna blazes, walnut broods. The body is a rich, complex mix of deep chocolate browns and warm caramel undertones, with the subtle swirling figuring of the burl running through it like a quiet undercurrent. It's a timber with real character and depth, and the more you look at it, the more you see.

The Kenilworth II's larger format suits it perfectly — there's enough barrel to let that grain breathe and tell its story, and the warm 24ct gold plated fittings complement the natural tones of the wood beautifully rather than competing with them. The faceted gold cap catches the light with clean, angular confidence, and the black accent rings at barrel and nib add a sharp, considered contrast that stops the whole thing from looking too conventional.

This is the pen for someone who appreciates understated quality — the kind of piece that sits on the desk looking perfectly at home, then stops every visitor dead in their tracks when they pick it up.

Handcrafted from a single unique blank. No two ever the same.
