Sun Tiger Maple Wood Gold Plated Steel Ballpoint Pen - Purely Hand-Shaved Production

**Introduction** Wood Gem Sun Egg, Special cutting angles and time-consuming multi-angle refraction carving allow every angle to reflect the brilliance of citrine. Maple Wood (Acer mono) Commonly known as "rotten heart wood" or "rotten heart seedling" because its heartwood easily cracks during growth, making it difficult to source and rare to find large boards suitable for structural use – what we often call "unfit for purpose." Elders used this term to scold people as "unfit for purpose," unable to become pillars of society, specifically referring to individuals who are hard to categorize or unlikely to stand out. This perspective examines each person through the lens of society's large conveyor belt; if you're not easily cultivated, categorized, or replicable like a canned good on the conveyor belt, you're labeled as "unfit for purpose." Although the heartwood of the "unfit for purpose" maple wood cracks, it doesn't die or wither. Instead, it continues to grow with a unique tree shape. Maple wood is hard and adaptable, growing in harsh environments and soil conditions, reaching heights of up to 20 meters and living for hundreds of years. While the heartwood of maple wood easily rots and becomes hollow, rendering it unusable as a "pillar of the earth" in human terms, its hollow cavities and crevices play a crucial ecological role, providing shelter for small animals and insects to hide from predators, becoming a secluded paradise. Humans are not wood or canned goods; we possess the freedom of thought to express ourselves and roam freely. Being different might just be our innate talent to break away from the mundane. The adversities encountered by maple wood throughout its life, in turn, create its magnificent and unrestrained grain, with colors like intertwined gold and ink, painting a picture of constant change. Let us, then, write poetry, sing songs, and dance to the rhythm of our extraordinary lives. The pen refill is a SCHMIDT refill made in Germany, allowing us to fly with our writing, escaping gravity, escaping unreasonable constraints, and expressing our hearts with our pens, narrating the daily beats of our hearts and the ebb and flow of our breaths. Mr. Tree was kind enough to let me complete this pen entirely by hand-shaving, without any sandpaper polishing. Under the light, you can observe the reflections and refractions of the carving marks, a characteristic unique to pure hand-shaving without polishing. Each handmade pen possesses its own unique style. During the creation process, the wood itself seems to have its own intention, leading to different external forms, as if Mr. Tree himself participated in the design. **Design Concept** Calcifer Is a fire demon that fell from the sky With a twisted, ever-changing form Later, he made a pact with Howl Granting Howl magical abilities to escape reality and resist the mundane Layers of barriers within the heart Forming a castle that can change its location Constantly writing and constantly going against the current of the world Until meeting Sophie Until remembering the promise of waiting for each other with Sophie Such writing finally transforms into a garden For the annoying realities of life Let's record them without avoidance Use writing as a stubborn resistance against the world, refusing to bow down **Warranty and Repair** All items I personally make come with a lifetime warranty.
