I'm not sure what the wood is on this one, Evelyn picked it out at Woodcraft in their $1.00 a blank bin. The kit is a Chrome/Satin Chrome from Exotic Blanks. This is the first pen I've made since Evelyn had me move my lathe inside so I made it for her. I sanded the blank to 12000mm and finished with 20 coats of WTF. It was nice turning were it was warm. All C & C welcome
