Why our upright pen displays and pen stands are so exceptional?
Our customer's value and treasure every one of their writing instruments and a display stand made in the USA out of beautiful exotic woods is the best alternative not only to showcase your collection but also to extend the life of our favorite fountain pens. It is common knowledge that fountain pens contain liquid ink, and if the ink is left to dry inside the feeder of the fountain pen nib, the flow of ink to the paper will be interrupted and will sometime cause a blockage and the pen will not write. The best solution to avert this is to not lay your fountain pen down on a flat surface. Instead, display your pen collection proudly on a custom made Lanier Upright Pen Stand, which will allow gravity to drain the ink out of the nib and feeder and back into the body of the pen where it belongs. Enough space for all Your Pens Most of our consumers have a wide range of ballpoint, roller ball as well as Fountain Pens in their collection. They value and treasure every one of them. However, more than that, they are very proud of them, and therefore, almost all of them will have their pens on display. Our upright pen stands are made to exact specifications and out of the finest materials available. They not only display your pen collection the way that it should be to make a statement, but they also keep your pens on display within reach.
The design You might wonder what makes our Lanier upright pen stands so exceptional. To begin with, it’s important to mention that our entire pen stands are custom items made to order and each unit will be a one-of-a-kind piece of art. Each of our pen stands are made from solid exotic woods harvested from sustainable trees. Next, the customer selects the design that best suits their collection. We have designs ranging from 1 pen to 15 pen upright stands. Then our Master Woodworkers layout the exact measurements to create the perfect angle for gravity to do is magic and for the stand to display the correct number of writing instruments. After all the wood parts have been cut to specification, then the sanding and polishing process begins. During this stage the raw wood is polished to protection by hand and then protected with an Oil and Urethane Topcoat. The final step is assembly where the unit is put together with glue. We proudly use no nails, nuts, bolts or screws to insure all parts of the stand are made of soft wood with no hard metal objects that could potentially harm or scratch your cherished writing instruments. If you’re a daily pen users or even a moderate to extreme pen collector you should owe one or more Lanier Upright Pen Stands! Bocote – The Definition Bocote (Cordia elaeagnoides) is a small tree that typically produces lumber that is 3-7' long by 3-6" wide by 1-2" thick. It is logged by hand with mules in a selective cutting method in Southern Mexico that is very sustainable and responsible. Bocote is related to Ziricote and possesses some similar characteristics including black lines, density, and overall appearance. This Central American hardwood is more plentiful than Ziricote so the cost is 25-35% less. Occasionally boards will have Birdseye figure, beautiful swirling patterns, and/or good variegation. Yellows fade to a tobacco brown while blacks remain. The wood is exceptional to turn, with a natural silky smooth polish that is easily attainable.
