          The Olimpiadi Pen is for the times in your life when you become more than you thought you could. This sleek,
all-business wooden pen, sculpted from a one-of-a-kind piece of wood symbolizes being on top of the world. It is a
reminder of the struggle, the hard work, and the ultimate success. All of us may not make it to the Official Games, but
this luxury wooden pen is the gold.
          Direct from the USA (and our Limited Edition Woods), Mesquite (Prosopis juliflora), known as Texas Ironwood,
covers 54 million acres of Texas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Kansas, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah, Louisiana,
and Mexico. The wood varies in colors of brown with marbled grains of yellow, pink, orange and red. The unique figuring
of this piece is the result of burls, which are created from unformed buds. The tree produces cells which have all the
genetic material to become branches and even whole trees, but for some reason they do not. The extensive growth of
these cells is similar to a mammalian tumor, although they do no harm to the tree.
          In desert regions, Mesquite often forms shrubs, but if thriving, it can grow to 50 ft with a single, crooked trunk 3
ft in diameter. Records indicate there is a Mesquite tree that is 400 years old and alive today. It has a wide spreading
canopy made of twisting branches and long, thin leaves that may be the only silhouette on an otherwise barren landscape.
Trees have needle sharp thorns up to 3 inches long that are tough enough to puncture a tire. Extensive root systems have
been recorded to stretch 190 ft deep, allowing the tree to survive droughts.  It also has the remarkable ability to
regenerate from a piece of root left in the soil 6 inches below ground. In the spring, yellowish white flowers, whose
nectar is used for honey, bloom and are followed by 8 inch bean pods.  These sugar-rich pods are ground into flour for
tortillas and brewed into a beer by Arizona's Pima Indians.
All ball point pens can be converted to a stylus with a stylus refill.
