Thanks. Is that an Australian wood?

Who cares where it came from, I want some!

If I can confirm name and source (Australia/Robutacion) you will know where to order some more for yourself. :biggrin:

#1 looks like cross cut Australian Cypress
#2 is gorgeous; I was wondering if it could be cross cut red Palm.
It looks like red Palm except sideways :biggrin:

Looks like Australian Cypress to me, too. Would smell very sweet while turning.
Im pretty sure #2 is not lace. Seems consistent that #1 is cypress. I'll go with pheasant for the second pen. Maybe Robutacion (George) can confirm if it came from him. Obviously I don't do a good job labeling unusual woods with the where, when, and what.

#2 is most likely Silky Oak

Yes, pictures on the Internet sure match the pen. Thanks. I think the mystery is solved.

Yes Mike, they both mine.
The first one is the #59 cross cut Australian Cypress aged and the second one is #51 Silky-Oak cross cut, possibly raw or stabilized...!
Beautiful pens, congrats...!
Cheers
