They are all nice but I like the mesquitte and walnut the best.

Thanks for the kind words folks.

I too really love the mesquite/walnut. Mesquite has become one of my favorite woods for pens. it always seems to have good motion to the grain.

Very nice collection but my favorite is the black and white ebony.

Me too. Mesquite is a good wood. And there are loads of varieties ranging from a light honey/gold to a rugged deep brown. Turns easily too.
