asbeen long time I didn't post a pen so this one as a bit of history,I took the 1st week of January off and spend time with the family visiting friends, find some wood under a pile of dust in an old black smith work place, they are spoke wheel from the 1880 in Maldon old gold mining town here in Victoria, the old men think it's Marri or Karri, hard wood and heavy, Marri or Karri are usualy white wood but years aged the grain the pen as been made using the tenon axel side, all comments welcome.

Good looking pen! I'm surprised they let you have the wood. Around here any wood with a history like that would have been very pricey indeed. Again -great job!
