Peter, it's a beautiful timber and made a very nice pen, Australia has some of the prettiest timbers around.

Peter and John,
In answer yes it will retain its colour it took over a hundred years to create wont fade quickly. I am reminded all timber reverts after a long period of time as Richard Raffan can attest. John it turns in ribbons bear in mind this pen is made up of two pieces only related from the same piece and cut at right angles to the grain. Reason the centre of the piece is eaten by white ants or ages out inside, all part of the rarity.
Timber takes ages to dry bit like a lottery you have to get into it to win it. Drills like a dream, can have inclusions and exclusions. I protect potential problems C/Of Monty and his CA in this blank splits were shallow. CAUTION you dont get many blanks from many kilos and it is a heavy timber.
In a little while I intend to turn a couple of CARNEII or Australian Purple Heart and it holds its redish colour unlike the other countries Purpleheart, it is Acacia Carneii even rarer than Conkerberry. References to rocking horse manure are evidently both rare as.
Regards from me. Peter.
