David ,very nice looking pen, I can't help you to identify it, but I'd call it the pretty pen. have fun with it, and hope you can sell it just for the beauty of it.
Thank you all for your compliments and wood ideas!
Unfortunately, it was my very last piece of it, so I'm trying to figure out what it is in order to replace it.
David, after looking at the other picture, i'd agree with Wayne an Marla, looks like a crosscut red oak. It's stunning what ever it was though. It's not Sugi, pretty sure of that now.
