The top on the left reminds me of something I can't mention on a PG forum.

Both are great, I like the one on the left's consistent shape. The wood of them both are superb!

They were made with 2-1/2" to 3" Caragana base trunks which has lots
of heart wood.
I mill Caragana Pen Blanks that I have for sale from these base trunks as well.

Les,
Love the little boxes... I don't recognize the name of your wood... is there another name for it... I love the grain patterns.

Thanks Chuck,

Another name for Cragana is Siberian Peashrub.
Just Google Caragana.
