Best material for a Tycoon Rollerball kit?

[rodtod11]

I've got a couple of Rhodium Tycoon rollerball kites. Any opinions of the best material to do these in for a nice "formal" look?

I'm partial to highly figured olivewood but a nice, dark rosewood of some type gives a nice formal look to a pen. If you want to use a man-made blank though, I would suggest browsing Classic Nib & Exotic Blanks for something that suits your tastes.

Those are really nice kits - have fun & be sure to post some photos when you're done.

Hands down, Buckeye Burl.

Ambonya burl

Any burl. Buckeye burl tops the list. Though i have some Hondurian rosewood burl that would look super sharp

Hard to beat basic black with rhodium for that formal look. The other suggestions are hits also.
Do a good turn daily!

Ebony with ivory two tone looks great with rhodium.
