Here is a Gabon ebony wood from Africa put on a Executive style twist pen. The wood almost looks like an acrylic.

That's a really cool pen ! The Gabon ebony goes very well with the kit that you chose. BTW, where did you get the Gabon ebony ? Is it fairly easy to turn ? I would like to give it a try. Some black woods are not real easy, and some are not totally black either. Thanks for any help.

The Gabon was actually easy to turn, I thought it would be hard on my tools but it wasn't.
I got the wood from a contact on eBay that I have bought from prior. I also got the stripped African Ebony too from them.

Woodcraft has Gabon Ebony. Our local store is selling it for 1/2 the regular price. I think they got a LOT of it, but I saw it listed in the catalog flyer that way as well, so I am thinking Woodcraft the main company found a lot of it someplace at a good price

Beautiful Pen, Randall.
The Chrome and Ebony are Great Companions.
Nice Fit and Finish.
Congratulations,

I was not looking for pen blanks. I was looking for larger turning blanks.
