It's been a while since I've done anything with wood, so I decided to combine two of my favorite materials. This pen is made from African Blackwood, with vintage blue/grey/black chunk cellulose acetate for the parts that needed to be threaded. I also used nickel silver to fabricate the accent bands and clip from. I really enjoyed building this one!

I like the profile and the combination of materials.

Your accents have always been appealing! Very nice.
