Sweet. Unusual grain pattern there. I like it.

Weird where you can find timber to make pens from....it may not have the fancy 'paperwork printed in someones spare bedroom(Cert. Bethlehem Olivewood)', but it doesn't carry that price either!!!
And if you cut those 'cutting boards' right, you can get a fair amount of penblanks from them! This is one of the better pieces of timber I've seen.
Well turned!!!!

I bought one of those last year. I made some amazing looking pens from it.

That has great grain! I love it. The finish is spectacular.
Fantastic pen, the blank has really great grain, I really think it cool that you have the #8 in the blank. Stunning fit and finish,

Yes sir! Cheese it is!
I picked that up after our meeting at the park in northwest little Rock last summer! Thank you for the compliments. Hey, did you see that there is the Pen exhibit at the Wyndham today in NLR? I wish I had know earlier,
I would have tried to attend & get some culture....

That's a great looking pen Phillip. BTW, that pen show is tomorrow too. I went last year, and so did Scott & Lyn. It's interesting, but most of the pens are all production pens. There are some antiques too. Shawn Newton (aka watch_art) will probably be there. I'm not sure if you've been to a meeting when he's been there. He probably hasn't been too one for a year or more. so if you go, be sure & look him up.

Phillip beaut pen looks like an abstract painting and I agree Olive wood from wherever is worth while , visiting a mate of mine couple of days ago I sighted some outside a house where someone left it to be collected? I knocked on the door and scored some remnants the backyard tree had been over two feet at the base a massive size IMHO for Olive takes a real long time to grow. Popped a pic in for interest.
Kind regards Peter.
