Sorry for the infomercial, but that is what I thought of when making this pen today. When I build a tackle box I always include a pen using the same wood. This time (and often) the wood is quarter-sawn African mahagony, not the greatest wood for a pen. I tried cutting a scrap or two on the diagonal to add some interest. Here is his pen, Mesa in bimetal:

I made a mahagony pen stand.

The grain is interesting and has a great deal of chatoyance which I would love to show.

Here is his tackle box from the same wood.

Sorry for the poor shot, real photography of the box is tomorrow AM before it ships to New Jersey.
