Closed End and Custom Finial in Afzellia Xylay

[hewunch]

This is some Afzellia Xylay (I think that is how you spell it) that I got from Kelvin. Two tone with sap, very cool stuff. This is my second closed ended pen and first from wood. The second picture shows the two tone better. Comments welcome.

Very nice Hans. Beautiful looking wood. I like the shape of the pen and the slim center band.
