This handcrafted writing instrument was made using dark brown teakwood salvaged years ago from the wooden decks of USS South Dakota (BB-57).
Teakwood ballpoint pen is enclosed in a plastic box.
Certificate of Authenticity will accompany the pen.
Handcrafted by Dale Hill, LCDR, USNR (ret), who says, “During the cutting, drilling, and lathe turning of this teakwood, while making this pen, I noted the distinct odors of salt water, fuel, and smoke – common smells encountered onboard Naval Ships and at Naval Stations.”
