Arariba Ligero

[Penl8the]

Hello Everyone Happy New Year.

I found these 4 Arariba blanks from my local hangout. One of the nicest blanks I have seen for a while. Yes, I had to google it. Have a read about this wood here --> Arariba

The pen kit is Ligero. Finished it with CA (many coats).

Hi John,

I bought mine from Smitty a while back. I don't believe Smitty carries this anymore. But I googled it and found this site from the U.K.

Absolutely beautiful. I love both the kit and the blank with that fine grain. I would have guessed bamboo or something like that. I aspire to your level.

Happy New Year!
