Conklin 1898 Stabilized Wood Limited Edition Fountain Pens: Nature, Science & Craftsmanship

Experience the striking beauty of natural wood transformed through modern material science with the Conklin 1898 Stabilized Wood Limited Edition Fountain Pen. Designed as a fusion of heritage craftsmanship, advanced stabilization techniques, and collectible design, this limited edition release brings the warmth of maple burl together with the durability needed for an everyday writing instrument.

The Conklin 1898 Stabilized Wood Collection features maple burl, a naturally expressive wood admired for its swirling grain, distinctive “eyes,” and rich tonal variation. While maple burl is visually stunning, it is also naturally soft and porous. To make it suitable for fine writing instruments, Conklin uses a professional stabilization process that infuses the wood with acrylic polymer resin under vacuum and pressure.

During this process, the stabilizing resin penetrates deep into the wood fibers, filling microscopic pores and voids before being cured with heat. Once hardened, the resin reinforces the wood’s structure, increasing durability and resistance to warping, cracking, moisture, scuffs, dents, and everyday wear. The result is a beautifully polished material that retains the tactile warmth and organic grain of natural wood while gaining the strength and stability collectors expect from a fine pen.

Each Conklin 1898 Stabilized Wood fountain pen is crafted in a comfortable cigar-shaped silhouette, finished with an engraved cap ring featuring Conklin’s original ornamental motif, and completed with the brand’s classic rocker-style clip. Available in two vibrant stabilized wood variations, Pink-Purple and Yellow-Green, each pen highlights the unique grain movement and color transitions of the maple burl. Because the material begins as natural wood, no two pens are exactly alike.

The fountain pen is fitted with a smooth JoWo stainless steel nib, available in varying nib sizes.

The Conklin 1898 Stabilized Wood fountain pen fills using standard international ink cartridges or the included threaded converter, giving writers the flexibility to use bottled fountain pen ink or cartridges.

Limited to 1,898 pieces per color, each pen is presented in a luxury gift box with a custom sleeve, making it a memorable gift and a standout addition to any Conklin collection.
