Nice one Niel.
I've got bog oak from three areas of the world and have to keep them separated in the shop because they all look nearly identical. The couple pieces of WV bog oak are easier to spot since they are obviously American White Oak (the rays and flecks are prominent on the quartersawn side.

I keep mine seperate and the stuff that is in my own stash is labeled. Right now it is pretty easy to tell it apart. I have 2 pieces of labeled IBO and 100+ pieces of DBO...LOL I also have a few pieces that have the fleck from being quartersawn.

John, I find it to feel somewhat like the cigar, but it has a smoother transition to the nib. I'm using them as a replacement for the cigar line, it just looks like a higher quality pen to me. The main thing I like about it besides the look is that you can adjust the amount of ballpoint sticking out if needed, unlike the cigars. It's a slight adjustment, but it is better than none.

Tomorrow I may have to make a matching pencil for this pen, I wouldn't mind a nice dark set.

Now, I either have to convince my wife to let me by some of your Bog wood...or wait until Texas since we'll be hours apart for my class, open up a separate checking account and order them without her knowing. Seems almost easier to do the second part because if I do the first one she'll take all the word her self.
Nice looking pens Neil. As always.

Nice in the BO as well.

The cigar can only be adjusted in one direction, if you overmill the tube, you're screwed. With this one, you can compensate for that at the nib area.
