Here is a pen with a little story. In March I was working in Athens Greece, a gentleman that I met admired my pen. I told him that I tried to get a piece of wood from every country I visited. He told me that he could get me some olive wood, the next day he showed up with a branch he pruned off a tree. I have let it dry out over the summer and finally turned a pen for him. He did get me some larger pieces before I left. It has a CA finish, finished with MM 1500 to 12000 Plastix and RW. Coments please!!!

Nice pen..... But I don't know about the copper ... IMHO I would have used something else like gun metal but it is still very nice

Nice pen, nice story. When a pen has a history to it, to me, it makes it all the more special.
