The Platinum Lacquered Briar pens are offered in three versions: Light Briar, Dark Briar and Briar Shell. Woodworkers have long prized briar wood for its rich color and intricate grain. Each wood is chosen for the depth and pattern of the grain before being painstakingly turned to final dimensions and finished with a deep lacquer coating to ensure durability and beauty.
