Kauri

Ancient kauri and an ElPresidente. A fun wood to turn.
Do a good turn daily!

Don, that is a beautiful pen. Makes me want to turn some that I have from Ed and Dawn. Maybe mine will have that grain. It looks pretty plain from the outside.

Don,

That's very nice. I have some Kauri blanks on order from the local Woodcraft store. I plan to turn a Stretch fountain pen for my daughter who is graduating from The University of Utah with a history degree. I figure wood that is 50,000 years old has "history".

Great looking pen! Very nice grain compared to most kauri that I have seen.

Beautiful pen! That is the best looking Kauri wood that I have seen. It has a rich quality to it. Regards, Doc

Very nice. I'd be scared to death of carrying that guy. Dropping it would be ALMOST as bad as dropping a baby or a puppy. ALMOST.

Very nice looking wood and a great pen. I need to give that wood a try.
