Elegant grain. Did you have a board to cut and get the diagonal grain? Curious as I would like to do that.

I buy a large 6" x 60" board and set up for diagonal cuts. The commercial one stink to me.

Oh my.
I thought the diagonal bocote was gorgeous until I saw the two tone Amboyna burl.

I think Amboyna burl is probably as pretty a wood as there is. Consistently beautiful.

Excellent pens.

Do you find the DK rollerballs difficult to assemble? I had to file out the inside of the brass tube to be able get a fit that's just moderately snug after the first two cracked. I bought a pile of these and the extra work is just a time pit.
