Has anyone used fig tree wood for a pen blank? I have one in my back yard that is going to be removed, so I was wondering if the wood from this tree would make an interesting pen?
I've done a few from the fig trees in our greenhouse. The 'centre' pith makes it very easy to drill the blank. Since the fig does not have any figure, I dyed a few blanks to give it some distinction. Here's a pic with green dye.
