Hi, here is some pictures of a Majestic Rollerball with Olive wood I have made. The tray and lid in the penbox is made from nearly 100 years old Teak, and the ends is Olive wood such as the pen.

The Teak has been deck onboard at the old training ship S/S Statsraad Lehmkuhl from Bergen. A 268' barque built in 1912. See www.lehmkuhl.no

Impressive figuring on the Bethlehem olive wood - I've never seen any quite like it! Great story on the teak holder....those two together are a gift that should be handed down to the next generation.

Great job!

Very nice. Olivewood is like 'you-know-what'. Even when it's not the best, it's still darn good.

Are you a pirate?:

Both the pen and the box are stunning. It is awesome to be able to craft a pen out of something with historical value. I was honored to be asked to turn a couple of pens from planking removed from the USS Franklin when it was repaired during WWII. I was even more honored to be able to cut a couple blanks for myself.
 
Beautiful pen and box. That is some really nice BOW. I really like the box too. I need to try one of those.

I have made a few pens for the teak deck from the USS North Carolina Battleship that is berthed in Wilmington NC.
 
Well on a scale of 1 to 10 I'd give it a 12, that is some of the prettiest Olivewood I've seen, nice story about the box, that's a combination to be proud of.
