Nostalgia!!!!!!
***LIMITED***
This wood was sourced from a portion of the original deck of the USS New Jersey.
The USS New Jersey battleship was also known as the "Big J " or Black Dragon.
The New Jersey earned 19 battle stars for combat operations during World War II, the Vietnam War, the Korean War, the Lebanese Civil War, and the Persian Gulf.
Today, it is a museum ship in Camden, N.J.
These artifacts of American history are slowly succumbing to modernization efforts,
This wood represents a chapter of America's national fabric that is worthy of safeguarding.
Due to the age of the wood no two products retailer will be exactly the same.
This small 24 kt. gold plated letter opener is an elegant gift for the military enthusiast and historical wood collector.
This piece is hand made by myself in my home shop in Maine.
A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany this letter opener.
Finish:
No polyurethane applied
Before applying the finish this pen is sanded from 80 to 12,000 grit to make it smooth to the touch.
Then a friction polish is applied to the piece which gives it a smooth shine still maintaining the feel of wood.
Care:
* Wood can be prone to scratches and wear.
* The natural oils in your hands can degrade the finish and become dull from repeated use.
* Apply quality furniture polish and buff with soft cloth.
* Do not use abrasives.
* Do not expose to extreme temperatures as the wood could expand and contract causing cracks.
