Sorry guys, I don't have a better photo available. However, the flooring material is about 5/8" thick to start with. I sanded the pre-finish off of two 6" long flooring sections (about 4" wide) pieces and glued them together with Tite Bond II. then ripped the block into pen blanks. The color in the photo is very close to real. What doesn't show well here is the subtle streaks of dark gold sporadically running through it.
My first attempt at finishing was a disaster. Because the pen was a rush order sample for a possible large order, I used a lacquer based friction polish that created awful staining and streaking. Since ther's never enough time to do things properly, but ALWAYS time for rework, I stripped it off and used a straight CA finish which looks great. Another problem was with the sandpaper I used. I used Klingspoers wet/dry paper to 1200 grit. No problems to 1000, but the last grit left black streaks in the open pores. Again I had to sand down and switch to micro-mesh before running out of sanding grits. Not a real problem, but just a part of the learning curve. The CA being such a clear finish, also allowed the gold streaking to show.
Thanks for all the nice comments. And I'm sorry that you had such trouble finding the Camo pen[
