A couple from today

[Twissy]

The first is from a wood I acquired and asked a question in the penturning forum as to what it was. The thoughts were Honduran Rosewood or Cocobola. I'm now also wondering about Walnut, but I've never had Walnut this hard....any more thoughts?

The second is Spalted Beech. I'm not a lover of the Panache, but it is a great pen for showing off the material!

C&C's welcome.

Wow! The spalted beech looks really nice.

Personally, I like using the Panache kits for desk pens. The spalted beech looks fantastic. Beautiful work on both pens.

That is one beautiful piece of spalted beech you did it very proud too. Nice pen.

I sure love the looks of that Panache pen!

I was wondering about the cool looking clip on the Zen.Did you make it?

Thanks Guys!

Steve, this is not a Zen, it is a cheaper copy. I get them from HERE.

Might it be Maccassar Ebony? A very dense walnut lookalike.

Have you turned the Zen as well? If so, how do they compare?

Sorry, I haven't. The cap on this is lined if that helps.
