Thanks all for your kind comments. The story behind this pen...there's always a story, right?
I made this in memory of my x-sister in law. She passed away before her time this year. Cecelia lived in Juneau all of her adult life, working for fish and game, state and federal level and had a huge love for everything Alaskan, In particular was her love and attraction for wolves. Ergo, the engraving.
The pen was gifted to my x, a wonderful lady that I taught to love fountain pens many years ago...just seemed natural to give her the first one I made.
And yes, the alt ivory is a dream to turn...thanks to Ed for the samples....
