FAQ

What types of wood are your pens made from?

Our pens are crafted from a variety of hardwoods such as: Oak, Maple, Purpleheart, Walnut, Ebony and more.

If there is a special wood that you are looking for, please feel free to reach out to us via email at hello@nightowlpens.com to see if we can create your one-of-a-kind pen.

What type of finish do you use on your pens?

Night Owl Pens are sealed with shellac prior to sanding, then finished with natural wood oils and bees wax. After allowing this finish to cure, our pens are buffed with carnauba wax for protection and lustre.

How do I take care of my pen?

To keep your pen in top condition, please do not leave a nib in the pen when storing, as this area can trap moisture and lead to rust. The natural oils in your hands will enhance the wooden surface, giving the nib holders a nice patina over time. If the wood begins to feel dry (this can occur from excessive exposure to sun or water), a little paste wax or furniture polish will restore the sheen and condition.

What types of nibs will fit my pen?

Besides the Brause Blue Pumpkin Nib included with your pen, standard calligraphy nibs found at your local art retailer or online supplier will fit your pen.
