Ebony and Bacote Big Ben

[keepanionme14]

I made these Father's day weekend. I couldn't decide which to give as a gift, so I let dad choose. He chose the bacote, so I took the ebony one to work. I'd love to hear thoughts and any criticisms.

Dad made the right choice. Next time make 2 Bocote pens.

I like them both for differant reasons. Good job

Really nice. I like dad's choice too.

Two very nice pens, nice fit and finish, I think your Dad made the right choose.

I have to agree with the general consensus: the Bocote is my favorite, too. I have done a couple of ebony pens, and most folks I quizzed about them said they were ok, but they did not prefer a wood so dark. On the other hand, Bocote is always very distinctive in its contrasting colors and grain lines. Congrats on two great pens.

Looks like Your Dad has a Popular Taste in Pens, Jim.
It's the Bocote for me as well.
I think the shape of the Ebony, being a little Bulbous, distracts from the overall impact of the Pen.
Both Excellent Pens, Good Fit and Finish.
A Great Gift for your Dad,
Brian.
