Central American Cedar and Mahogany Wood Pen and Holder, "Essence"
Costa Rica's Christian Vasquez uses discarded wood he obtains from large companies to craft this striking desk accessory. The pen holder, hand carved from cedar wood, mimics the design of a spinning top, with a wood ring at its base to give it a sense of motion. Vasquez then uses reclaimed mahogany wood to craft a pen that fits into the side of the stand. Both pieces features a rich hand-applied stain and lacquer finish, and the set comes with two Bic ball-point ink refills.
