Help identifying wood / some new pens

[ReverendThom]

A guy in my city was selling all his gear. I got a ton of stuff for only $500 ... Including quite a bit of wood that is unlabeled. I can figure out most of it except this one. Can you help me?

I did 4 Polaris kits up today. I like them!

Looks like a rosewood species.

Have some sonoran desert ironwood that looks similar. The yellow appears as sapwood.

I think the first one is African Blackwood, the light part is sap wood. Just a guess.

Nice work!
Can't say for sure what the wood is but the black line separating the heart and sap is unique and should help identify it. Have any pieces that aren't turned?

African Blackwood. A pen just posted recently on another forum identifies it clearly.

Thanks! I just saw the other pen too. Gotta be it

Beautiful pens! My guess is Ziricote. The sapwood finishes with a yellow tint and is quite clean. The Heartwood is dark, nearly black, but you can easily see the grain. In my experience blackwood is darker and has less visible grain. Here is a recent one I made with a 50/50 sapwood Ziricote.

Hmmmmm well now I've changed my mind again! Lol
