Eastern gifts

[clement]

Hi all,
I made 3 pen and pencil sets as eastern gift for my 3 preferred girls , ( wife, daugther and grand-daugther ).
The kits are what we call here " Foreman " black chrome. Finish with CA/BLO.

This one is for my wife, it's buxus that was cut 20 years ago.

This one is for my daugther, it's " bois de rose " her preferred wood. I think that you name this tulipwood [?]

The 3rd one is for my grand-daugther, she's 10 years old and love rose colors. So I made her a set with pink ivory.

Close up on the pink ivory, the grain is nice.

greetings from Belgium,
clem

Buxus sempervirens (Common Box or European Box; also as Boxwood) is a flowering plant in the genus Buxus, native to western and southern Europe, northwest Africa, and southwest Asia, from southern England south to northern Morocco, and east through the northern Mediterranean region to Turkey.
