Princeton Tamarind

This is a Princeton twist pen in chrome, from Woodcraft. I believe it's a Berea Virage. The wood is spalted tamarind, from Woodturningz. The finish is Pens Plus. Try as I might, I couldn't keep the fingerprints off the chrome in the photos.

This is actually a redo. I used Patagonian rosewood first, but it cracked really bad after I turned it.

Oof, sorry to hear about the crack in the first attempt but for what it is worth, I think the tamarind looks better anyway.

I would have to agree. I was underwhelmed with the figure in the rosewood.
