Made it this A.M. It's Chittam American Smoketree Burl from Exotic Blanks on a Cambridge TiGold with silver accents Fountain Pen. I got this blank in my Christmas basket concocted by my son, David, and Dawn. I learned from the Exotics site and others that this particular burl is one of the rarest burls in the world. It is apparently indigenous to the Southeastern United States, grows in a handful of very small regions and is virtually unheard of outside North America. From what I have seen, it does have a rich amber color, fine grain and curly character to it. The pen looks better in person and is more amber colored than in the pictures. Anyway, had fun making it! Turned easily and was consistent in texture and density throughout the wood. Hope you like it. Comments welcome but most of all, thanks for looking. TGIF! Doc
