Is this pen the same design principle to the Tree Trunk overlay? Its called that, but doesn't look exactly like a real one.

Whats the history of this pen? Is this pen the same principle to the Tree Trunk?

Your link just seems to go to the opening page of eBay - no particular auction.

Even so, I am puzzled how a pen can be a principle. Is English your first language? OK if it isn't - just curious ......

Fixed. Its the design in which it can be principled, not the pen in of its self.

Not really sure I understand that either.

I'm guessing he is using the phrase linked to meaning 5.

You can have design principles - for example, the central design principle of the Bauhaus School was "form follows function." But principle in this context still just means "rule" or "guidelines"

The tree-trunk pen isn't "the same principle to..." anything
It could be designed in line with the principles of a particular designer (one who took all inspiration from nature, possibly?) but I don't think this is the case.

So just a pen relating to nature, not knowing of the actual Tree Trunk pen by Waterman

I don't know anything about the actual pen, I was discussing the linguistic aspects of this thread.
