This is one very rare wood, nice pen too

[Kalai]

Hi everyone, I was at a friends work shop and he was cleaning his shop and had some wood for sale, he have been woodturning for over 37 years and has a big collection of woods and some are very rare, this is ultra rare and ultra Curly Hawaiian Sandalwood, I got a few other woods too (Bob, I got some of this and a few others for you, even some of that rare drift wood).
I have been working Hawaiian woods for 30 years and never seen Sandalwood curly like this, I hope you enjoy the picture, comments are welcome. Aloha.
