Hi all, I'm sitting in a hotel room miles from home and bored out of my skull!!!
I have wanted to ask this question for ages, but don't want to cause a fight.
There are always loads of pens that say BOW. Is this a generic term for any olivewood or is it REALLY from Bethlehem. The stuff I get from CSUK just says Olivewood. Without any origin. I love it, it is highly figured and looks as nice as any I've seen here. I have seen reference to African and Italian as well.
Is this a claim by suppliers just to make it more appealing, or even by us pen turners.
I would like to hear/read your comments.
Cheers for now
