I have made a few pens, but this is the first post. Cigar Style from Brown Malee Burl I got from friend Peter Hay in Canberra Aus.

Congratulations on posting your first picture. That's a nice piece of wood. They have a lot of beautiful burls available in Australia.

Hi Bob,

You did us proud Brown Mallee is a firm favourite of mine as well. I have often read of people having bother turning this burl however to me it is remarkably stable especially like the colour changes with sapwood thats precicely in the right place where you can see it best.

Kind regards Peter.
