This Chairman Style pen features Figured Ancient Kauri. Ancient Kauri/ Agathis australis. This pen comes with a certificate of authenticity that testifies that the wood has been carbon dated to be 30,000-50,000 years old. So why is it called the 5,000 year old pen? Because depending upon your belief set this pen could be percieved to be 5,000 years old. We want to exceed expectations so we will err on the side of being conservative and so we call it the 5,000 year old pen. The oldest workable wood/lumber on earth is Ancient Kauri. The trees from ancient forests on North Island, New Zealand have been buried under peat moss since the last ice age. They are well preserved and are now being dug up from the tundra.
