Back to basics with some ornate spindle looking twist pens. For the desk, not the shirt pocket. 100 year old Southern Pine and the other in Tigerwood? Looks more like black and white ebony. Only way to really show the grain was to add elevation to certain areas or else it would have straight grain. Neither has a finish to show the real wood. The larger flair on the writing end appeals to some for the grip and ergonomics. C&C welcome.......
