OK, I'm going with Prune Wood on this since the history of my area includes Prune Hill and they were called Prune Orchards. I haven't made any pens for awhile so I'm a bit rusty--looks like my mandrel may be bent as these are slightly proud on one side, but wanted to share the results of some of the wood I got. A question---I'm not sure about using gold kits with this wood---what plating would you suggest with this wood?? I usually make wood centerbands, but didn't have time right now and wanted to have one for the friend that let me have the wood.
