Here are the pens I took to this weekend's club meeting. They are (from left) Cherry and Walnut slimlines, Purpleheart and Shedua Designers, and Shedua Designer Pencil.
Fred, thanks for asking. It is from Africa. I've included a link below to "The Woodworkers Source". They have excellent descriptions of many woods by area along with properties like weight, hardness, workability, etc.
That is a great site and I also spend way to much time on it. I have ordered from them and do send excellent quality of wood. A good resource as well for those who are starting out.
