Last of the Christmas commisioned pens

[TowMater]

Boss came to visit me this morning, she is leaving for South Africa to visit some friends on Friday and wanted to know if I could turn a couple of pens for her to give to them. Thought they might appreciate some American Exotics (well exotic to them anyway).

Last of the Sierra's I bought when there were some left overs from a group buy.

First one is Blue Mangrove Driftwood I bought right here on IAP

Second was an unknown that was included with the Blue Mangrove, smells alot like Cedar so for now I'm calling it White Cedar. Smells Heavenly to turn and has some unreal chatoyance when you turn the pen about in the light. I'm including two pics of that, hoping for some Identity help with it, and I just think it's that nice looking.

Your comments and critisizms are appreciated.

Nice pens, the new recipients should be ecstatic. I lightened the photo up a bit and the wood looks like it could be Goncalo Alves.

I have one I believe is the same. Smells HEAVILY of eucalyptus. I tagged it as Yellow cedar from The description of the bundle

Thanks for the feedback folks, I need to do a brief informational on the wood for the recipients in South Africa and I think it will be officially Yellow Cedar.
