unknown wood

Attempted another slimline. Put a little dip/bulge near the tip for a more comfortable grip. The blank came from a grab bag. Anyone have a guess? The wood was relatively hard and the black part seemed a little waxy.

I don't know about the wood but the pen looks nice from here!

Is there a prize for guessing the wood? LOL
Black & White Ebony is my guess.

[keithlong]

Macassar ebony.

I'd vote for Mpingo (African Blackwood), instead of B&W Ebony. The B&W Ebony I've worked with has all been lacy black (not solid like this) on creamy white, where this looks more like the line between sap & heartwood of Mpingo.

NIcely done, nice grain match between the two sections. I always like a little shape on the writing end, not a fan of big bellies, though.
