I agree. Nice grain on it. Fit and finish is good too.

Nice pen. You have to keep your tools sharp when you work with that wood.

I bet people will think its fake; the grain looks too "perfect". Nice job!

Very nice, Shane. I've got one blank of Desert Ironwood at home, and plan to dig it out as soon as I get off work.

Couple of tips......use VERY SHARP tools. take it easy. I have done 5-6 out of this wood and each one has been different. Sometimes you have to change directions of the skew cut. I have had to resort to sandpaper in a couple of cases. Good luck. The risks are worth the benefit.
