Hello all,

A friend wanted a rollerball for her son and his wife and she wanted her son's pen to be a wood that was as dark as I had and his wife's pen to be a light colored wood. I had just gotten some Irish Bog Oak from Keith here on IAP and I had some white oak from fence planks of Three Chimneys Horse Farm so I thought they would be just the ticket. Here they are... the IBO is wrapped around a magnetic Vertex Supreme in gun metal and the white oak was crosscut and is wrapped around a magnetic Graduate in gun metal. Both are finished with walnut oil followed by Wood Doctor's Pens Plus and his micro crystalline wax. What a difference a few thousand years in a peat bog will do!

Mike

Holy crap! (And that's a compliment according to my son.) Great pens but that white oak is really sharp!
