{"product_id":"solid-wood-pen-block","title":"Solid Wood Pen Block","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Oaknook Solid Wood Pen Block is a small cube of timber with a single deep hole drilled through it. It holds the two or three pens you actually reach for rather than the twenty you never use, which is a different and more honest proposition than a pot. A full pen pot encourages accumulation, and most of what accumulates is dried out, borrowed or broken, so the pot becomes storage for things you will not use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 3.5cm square it takes up almost no desk at all, and the density of solid wood means it stays put when you pull a pen out one handed instead of tipping or travelling across the surface. The hole runs 3cm deep, enough to hold a full length pen upright and steady. Limiting the capacity is a deliberate constraint rather than a shortcoming, and it makes the pen you want the one you pick up first every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose black walnut for a darker, more figured grain or beech for a paler and more even one. Each block is hand finished and left unpainted, so the timber is what you see and it will darken slowly with handling rather than chipping the way a coated finish does. The end grain is left visible on the top face, so the drilled hole reads as part of the block rather than as a fitting added to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid black walnut or beech\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.5 x 3.5 x 3.5cm, hole depth 3cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand finished and unpainted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeighted for one handed use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolds two to three pens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Oaknook","offers":[{"title":"Walnut","offer_id":46463344508998,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Beech","offer_id":46463344541766,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/0969\/5558\/files\/hf_20260829_173050_f249f495-45fd-4620-9634-e701afe56c9e.png?v=1788024980","url":"https:\/\/oaknook.ca\/products\/solid-wood-pen-block","provider":"Oaknook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
