My first closed end baron after a few practice pieces. It's black titanium with holly. Had a guy ask for the whitest wood and holly is the whitest I know of. The finish is Deft Lacquer. I used Fangar's pin chuck.
I like how creamy that wood looks, it makes me think of a white ebony.
The closest woods I can think of that white are, Prima Vera, and Palo de vaca. although Palo de vaca is more like a white mahogany, the Prima vera looks almost Identical, but probably whiter. I can post pics if you want.
Thats an excellent pen! you get three smileys [][][]
