This is another pen made from the teak wood deck off Battleship USS California (BB-44).
The pen was made for in a friend of mine whose father was a PT Boat skipper in the Leyte Gulf during WWII. The California also participated in the Battle of Leryte Gulf where she helped destroy the Japanese fleet in one of the largest naval battles in history.
The wood was only treated with teak oil. I wanted to make sure he could "touch history" when using the pen.
