Thanks for the PITH pen and the extra blanks. I love the finish. I have no other contact info for you other than this crude reply. Thanks again

I started to write an answer but then decided to look up the definietion of"exotic"
I found this online at the Merriam Wbster site:

1 : introduced from another country : not native to the place where found &lt;exotic plants&gt;
2 archaic : FOREIGN, ALIEN
3 : strikingly, excitingly, or mysteriously different or unusual &lt;exotic flavors&gt;
4 : of or relating to striptease &lt;exotic dancing&gt;

Because I don't turn a lot of solid woods I had a hard time asnwering this one.
The design I call the"sexy pen" might qualify for number four.[]
I would have to say that Pentarsia is the most unusual for me at least, that would cover number 3.
If the question pertains to something from a foreign country then I would have to say Wart Hog tusk.
