Elegant pen made of ebony wood - Ipazia Ebano - M'Art

Peculiar design combined with the highest quality wood is synonymous with the M’Art brand. It is also the registered trademark of handcrafted wooden pens, which has been on the market for several years. The aim of M’Art is to create a product capable of satisfying emotional needs and rediscovering the pleasure of owning an object of rare beauty, which is pleasing to the eyes and hands. All handcrafted products result from meticulous market research of the best mechanisms to offer the customer an excellent pen and ballpoint pen. The wood is chosen from those commonly used in luthiery, characterised by exceptional hardness, beauty, and elegance, and is particularly suitable for the production of exclusive writing instruments. Every stage of the production of handcrafted wooden pens is strictly manual and ends with a thorough quality check. The result, in line with expectations, brings the joy of owning a "unique" object, as one would expect from a handcrafted masterpiece.

It is delightful to seek wood of absolute value, carefully selected and sourced from around the world. Identifying the different mechanisms of these writing instruments, which can synthesise weight and balance to make them pleasant to use, is very complex and satisfying. Creating handcrafted wooden pens requires particular skills and knowledge of techniques, raw materials, and tools, which allow reaching the final product in a rather lengthy process and require a great deal of attention. In the production of handcrafted pens, any small mistake, especially during turning, can mean the loss of an element and the need to start over. Preparing wooden pens involves inserting a brass core, which represents the pen's skeleton. Turning, finishing, and assembly are the subsequent stages of processing. Finishing is a particularly important phase, where the scratch resistance, coverage, or gloss of the pen will be determined. At the end of the process, a meticulous quality check will be conducted.

INTELLIGENCE IN HANDS
Each handcrafted M'Art pen is a jewel resulting from the harmonious integration of sought-after wood from around the world, top-quality mechanisms, style and sobriety, and a very high level of craftsmanship. From the meeting of these excellences arises a unique and very elegant product. M'Art's production includes a full range of models of wooden pens and pencils, including fountain pens, rollerball pens, ballpoint pens, gels, and pencils with variable stroke and softness.

PENS AND PENCILS WITH MARBLE EFFECT
Following the flattering results obtained in the production of wooden pens and pencils, the company has embarked on a new, special artisanal production on the same models. These are hand-painted pens and pencils with a marble effect in 5 different colours depending on the chosen marble (orange, blue, grey, black, green). This process, very delicate in the execution phase, proves to be very durable and scratch-resistant once finished. The artisan creates original and luxurious items, of great beauty and never banal. M'Art is an Italian registered trademark of wooden pens and pencils, which best represents the artisanal production of writing instruments, unique and recognisable items.

Wood is the central element of handcrafted M'Art pens and therefore its selection represents extraordinary strength. The synthesis of painstaking research of natural essences from many parts of the world and the long and careful seasoning of this living, unique, and versatile material allows the creation of magnificent writing instruments. All in full respect of nature and the environment. Every stage of the production of handcrafted pens, from turning to engraving the brand, is strictly manual. If we add to this great attention to detail and careful quality control, we obtain an extremely reliable product, of unquestionable value, capable of satisfying the aesthetic taste of even the most demanding.
Beautiful gift box

If you have decided to gift a loved one or yourself a wooden M’Art pen, it means you expect something exceptional. Such a unique item requires equally exceptional packaging. The packaging is made entirely by hand from wood, with a lining and finishes that have a significant visual impact. It includes the writing instrument, a leather pen holder matched to the type of wood from which the pen is made, and a parchment describing the properties of the wood used. The trademark, like the entire production of "M'Art" writing instruments, is handcrafted, usually on the clip.

Each of the pens and pencils can be personalised with names or dedications, and can be engraved in cursive or block letters, in uppercase or lowercase, both on the cap and the body of the pen.

Below is a description of the wood most commonly used in the production of M’Art artisan pens.
They have been selected for their specific properties of hardness, beauty, density, and seasonality, making them ideal materials for producing writing instruments of exceptional quality.

Bubinga
Originates from equatorial Africa, more widespread in countries surrounding the Gulf of Guinea. Despite being very hard wood, it is easy to work with. Bubinga is widely used in violin making. Its colour ranges from rather light brown-pink to dark purple-brown, has a fine texture, and is not very porous, often with visible veins.
Cocobolo
Grows in Central America from Mexico to Panama. Dark orange in colour, characterised by dark brown veins. It is quite difficult to work with and glue due to its oiliness. It has roughly the same stiffness and hardness properties as ebony and is widely used in luthiery.
Ebony
So valued among precious wood species that it gave rise to the name of furniture making, and is particularly used in luthiery. It is black or very dark brown in colour. It is very dense and requires very slow seasoning. It is highly sought after and very expensive wood depending on its rarity.
Macassar Ebony
Originates from Equatorial Africa and Asia and is very dense wood in black or dark brown colour, with more or less visible whitish or reddish veins or shades and fine grain. It is very dense and requires very slow seasoning. It is highly sought after and very expensive wood depending on its rarity.
Padouk
This is African mahogany and looks very similar to briar, especially madrona briar. Figured Sipo Pomellè is an extremely hard wood, distinguished by bright streaks that give it colour and reflections that give it a cloud effect.
Pau Violeto
This is wood with noble historical roots, of great beauty, widely used in furniture making and luthiery. The briar has dark, varied, and irregular veins and spots. Very delicate texture. Extraordinary hardness. Damaged and irregular grain.
Olive
This is one of the most valuable and expensive "local" woods. Brown-yellow wood with lighter streaks and coloured with darker streaks. Very delicate texture. Extraordinary hardness and excellent workability is used in many highly valuable productions.
