Here are photos of the pen and pencil sets I made for my parents for Christmas. They are made from a section of a Dogwood tree that grew in our yard when I was a kid and was a big reason my mother loved the house when they bought it. So, when the tree died a decade or so ago I took a 6" section and literally threw it in the garage. So I had a badly cracked section of very hard wood to work with. The darker cigar pen came from a section of the wood that had changed color, I guess from spalting? Anyway, they turned out ok.

P.S. The pens are leaning against the cracked wood from the tree. Lost a bunch of blanks to get these 4 done.
