I like this pen so much I thaught it needed a thread of its own.
Its a simple pen on a plain kit but the timber speaks for its self.
The kit has been lengthened by fitting longer upper and lower tubes, which gives it a tall look and feel.
the timber is rasbery jam, which is a form of wattyl that grows in western australia, it smells like rasbery jam when cut, the fresher it is the stronger the smell....yep realy like rasbery jam.
I realy like the striking sapwood transition, couldnt have come out in a better place.
typical of many wattyls this stuff is hard even in the sapwood, it makes a nice durable pen.....Hmmm... I might keep this one..... Naaa ..I want one with a ball clip, and a bit shorter, its way tooo long to fit in most of my pockets.
I have 3 more pieces... I must chase some more up.
cheers
