This .30 bolt action mechanical pencil was crafted from buckeye burl and matched with chrome fittings.  This mechanical pencil uses the bolt action to extend and retract the lead.  There is an eraser which is accessible by unscrewing the back end cap of the bullet pen.  This pencil does take .7mm lead.
Buckeye trees can be found throughout the eastern United States. Buckeye wood ranges from cream colored to a yellowish color. Burl wood is caused by abnormal growth in a tree which causes knotting or unusual grain patterns. Buckeye burl wood can have reddish brown knots and / or light to dark gray discoloring. Stabilizing the wood is done by injecting or soaking the wood in a type of resin which strengthens the wood and prevents moisture level fluctuation and warping of the wood. Buckeye wood is not widely used because of its lack of density and strength. Some of the more common uses for buckeye are furniture, crates, and pulpwood. Buckeye burl is more prized and is commonly used in the production of guitars, pens, and other turned products.
**We make several of these pens at one time.  The pen you will receive will be the same colors but may have different swirls and patterns in it since every piece of acrylic is unique.  The pen pictured is an example of the colors and how the acrylic / wood will look.  
With every pen purchase you receive a gift box, certificate of authenticity, pen pouch, and our business information.  With fountain pen purchases you also get one converter / ink pump, one ink cartridge, and fountain pen instructions.  With our mechanical pencils you will also get instructions.  We offer free USPS first class shipping on certain items.  **Dragon pens do not come with a pen pouch due to their size.  
The pens offered by Provincial Mills are handcrafted in the United States (Colorado). We stand behind the craftsmanship of our products 100%.  If you are not happy with your purchase, please contact us within 21 days and return the undamaged product within 30 days and we will refund the purchase price minus a 10% restocking fee (max restocking fee of $17.50). Returned items must be in the same condition as they were when shipped (no scratches, wear and tear, broken pieces ect.).  Due to the nibs and ink used in fountain pens, the fountain pens must be unused if returned.    Most woods and antler are finished with a CA glue coating which gives them a long-lasting shine and helps protect them.  Depending on the material, some materials may be finished with a rubbing oil and high-speed friction polish.  If the rubbing oil and high-speed friction polish is used, it will be stated in the pen description.
