I've made about 20 pens I guess, all started from when a client bought in some turned blanks to be laser engraved.
So I started the hobby as well, and then this nice bloke bought this really dark blank in and gave it to me.
It apparently came a few weeks ago from Africa, and its quite hard.
Its naturally black with some dark brown grain through it.
I'm not sure what wood it is, but wish I had more.
I'll ask the bloke what it is again next time he's here.
Just a simple bullet style pen, but I think the black / chrome look really nice together.
Sorry the photo quality doesn't show the grain, its a photo from my mobile.
cheers,
Chris
