Ollive Wood with an Acacia accent end in a Concava Pen

[kglass]

Hi All,
Here is a Concava Pen with Bethlehem Olive Wood and a Acacia Wood accent end . Some Bible Historians believe that the Acacia wood is said to be the wood that Jesus' cross was made of. This Pen is going to be given to my pastor as a gift.

Your comments are always welcome.

Hey Ken, really nice pen, your pastor should be thrilled. Isn't acacia in the koa family?...or vice versa. Beautiful wood.....

Rocky,
I believe your partially right. There are 800 species of trees and shrubs comprising a genus (Acacia) in the pea family (Fabaceae) and native to tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Kao being one of many.....

Your Fit and Finish is Superb,
I am sure your Pastor will be delighted.

Very nice looking pen Ken. Needs more light in the photo to bring out the detail in the cap and nib.

Oh yeah, you are so right...!

It drives me nuts to identify some of the many Acacia/wattle native species I have growing around me/town. I have a big bunch of these species on my "Timbers list" and I'm sure, there are many more that I haven seen/got to.
One day...!:wink::biggrin:

Beautiful pen and certainly a nail biting exercise to not turn through to the tube, great job, though...!

Cheers
George

Thanks to all for your comments.
Harry,
I have a photo tent and lights, but I was just to lazy to get them out and set them up. Maybe next time....
