Just for Frank

[gerryr]

Frank hates Havana kits. I happen to like them and sell quite a few Havana/El Toro/El Presidente pens, including the Havana ballpoint. CSUSA is closing out the Havana so I bought a bunch. First one is a rollerball made from spalted Signature wood from Hawaii. I need to find out the real name for that stuff.

The next one is a fountain pen made from some of Nolan's fabulous Rosewood Burl.

Both kits are Rhodium and both pens are finished with CA. They both went together very nicely and all the parts fit just as they should.

Thanks for looking and thanks to those who comment.

Both very nice, but poor[] spike shrunk and lost all his appendages.

Lovely pens! Bring back spike though!![][]
That wood in the first picture looks very much like stabilised spalted Maple.

Gerry,
The real name of Signature wood is: "the tree is also called Autograph tree, Copey, Scotch Attorney and the scientific name is Clusia rosea. The tree comes from India but now grows as a weed in Hawaii". This info is from Chris Allen (Kalai) a member here on IAP.

Very nice! That is one chubby pen kit. []

I'm a sucker for spalted stuff, so I like the one on the top the best!

Okay, I'll bite. Who's Spike?

When I was in the bookstore today I saw "grammar for dummies" and I thought of you. I think I just might have to purchase it and send it to you [:0]

Slipping a tad as we get older William? [] What is Ed to think?

Both look good Gerry but the rosewood is the best[]
