 The Maestro Collection of wooden pens is sure to get you noticed. Designed with discriminating collectors in mind, it
offers a black titanium, hand-cast, engraved inset on the cap and barrel ends against a brilliant platinum background. In the
tradition of fine writing instruments, the Maestro wooden pens are designed for use with the cap unattached to the pen to
ensure effortless writing and balance. The Maestro Fountain Pen features a German made, two-toned nib with iridium
point for smooth writing and dependable ink flow. It will accept standard ink cartridges as well as ink reservoirs.   The
Maestro Rollerball comes with a ceramic-tipped Schmidt cartridge for effortless writing. The unique blend of colored
insets and accent band, platinum trim, and one of a kind wood clearly make a distinctive wooden pen of unrivaled beauty.
 It seems fitting to make a wooden pen from
Red Maple (Acer rubrum) since pioneers used its bark extract to make ink.
A strong breeze will display the subtly bi-colored foliage of this tree which has dull green leaves with a light green to silvery
underside. The 40-60 ft shade tree has an irregular rounded crown that turns brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and red
during the fall. These beautiful displays in the Eastern United States eventually turn into spindly sticks in the winter, but in
late March, long before new foliage emerges, globular clusters of showy red flowers decorate the trees.
 At about the same time, The Asian
Ambrosia beetle emerges looking for a new home. It was accidentally imported to
the US in some peach trees headed from China to North Carolina in 1974. Since then it has spread all over the US,
costing millions of dollars in plant loss. The beetle bores into the wood, and as it excavates its network of tunnels, it ejects
sawdust through the entrance hole. This forms toothpick-like protrusions sticking out of the bark. As the beetle  burrows,
forming 1/100-1/4 inch-diameter pinholes, it spreads a fungus, called Ambrosia, from which the beetle gets its name, that is
carried on its back from its previous home. It is this fungus that will eventually clog the vascular system of the tree, causing
it to wilt and die. The fungus grows on the tunnel walls and is consumed by the beetle for nourishment. The fungus causes
the pinholes, along with the surrounding area, to become stained with a greenish-gray or bluish-black color over the
natural white-cream background. A cross section of an infected tree would show oval-shaped stains radiating out from the
center in a star-shaped pattern.
