I got 1 from some Mississippi steam ship. If you're interested I can look to see where I put it.

I bought some from the USS Missouri gift shop. Not sure if you can order online or over the phone.

Greetings from Nebraska,
About a year or so ago I was able to acquire some Genuine Lignum Vitae pen blanks. The wood was salvaged from spare Aft Tube (propeller shaft) bearings of the MV Doulos Phos, which I've read was the world's oldest active ocean-faring passenger ship until it was decommissioned in Singapore in December 2009 after 95 years of active service. The decommissioned ship was towed out of Singapore to Batam Indonesia where she was converted to a dry docked hotel. Prior to being renamed to MV Doulos Phos, the ship had also been known as the SS Medina, the SS Roma, the MS Franca C, and the MV Doulos.
I am pretty sure I still have a couple of blanks.
Here is a pen and pencil set that I made with a couple of them last October.
Regards,
Dave

What is the name of the pen kit? I really like that look.
The pen kit is the PSI Duraclick EDC :- ( either in the "Burnt Bronze" or in "Brass" ... not sure which but I'll reference the former )

Magpens, you are spot on - it was the Burnt Bronze. I really like these kits too. - Dave

Either will work, but the goal is to use the wood for a pen

There is a rather large collection of US Navy ship woods available at my website.

I have a small piece of Battle ship USS Missouri - -the Japan surrender ship- - and I will part with one pen blank---leaving me enough for my own historic needs. What's it worth to you? If interested, send email. P.

That is crazy. You must have some sort of inside connections.
. Also saw the buildings you have pieces of wood from.

I have a few connections... You have to use your friends wisely. They get me stuff and I make them pens. I get to keep the extras.That is crazy. You must have some sort of inside connections.
