I've never heard of Imbuya, did you mean Amboyna?
If not, let me know what this wood is like and if possible post a scientific name!

And thats a beautiful pen!

Scientific name is phoebe porosa, sometimes referred to as Brazilian Walnut because of its appearance but not a member of the walnut family.

That's not a Jr. Gent, that's a JR. Statesman. Beautiful wood and very well done.[]

Thank you all for the very kind words,[]
Angela Powder River is where I get my horse supplies; River Ridge is where I sent the blanks to get stabilized, sorry I had a mind fart. [B)]
Gerry you are correct it is a Jr. Statesman, I’m still calling it a gent because all my jigs have gent written on them. Makes a big difference when purchasing also $$$$
I have a total of forty blanks I’ll be sending to “River Ridge†for stabilizing. With all the positive comments I’ll try to offer some for sale. Thanks again, your comments are very encouraging. [8)]

Very good looking pen, I have a few pieces of Imbuya but none as pretty as that.
