No not with the grain pattern. and color red
Enjoy your seat Mal Rest awhile you are tired I can tell. It is always hard to tell any blank from such a small sample and not seeing the board it came from and most times these are just guesses and really does nothing to definitely identify the wood. Also each monitor that we look at these photos can be somewhat different in color presentation. On my monitor there is a reddish hue to the wood and I have seen that grain pattern so many times before because I use rosewoods so often. I have also used bocote many times too and every piece I used has more brown to blackish grain patterns. Also looking at the stick behind the pen leads me more to it also. So many species of rosewood. But will give you this if it makes you feel better and more relaxed while sitting in that comfy chair drinking that afternoon ice tea (yea right ice tea) Bocote is a wood that resembles rosewood and hence it is often called Mexican rosewood. So cheers to you.You're color-blind, John. . Does not look one bit reddish to me !
And the grain pattern is perfect for Bocote .... at least for the Bocote that is "retail-harvested" in this neck of the woods !
(I'll now sit back and wait for the blast-phemous retort !)
I'll add to the mix that it's possibly a piece of walnut. I'm terrible at these things.
Hey it is a nice pen and whatever wood it is you did a good job with it and be proud of it.Thanks everyone, I appreciate the information
OMG tony the list is long. I believe rosewood is the best looking and richest looking of all wood species. Get some rosewood burls and you have gold. Here is some reading material for you. I will stick with my guess and go down with the ship on this one. The stick behind the pen tells the story better. Now what type rosewood, pick one and then pick the board it came from.Beautiful pen! And I have no idea. However, I didn't have any idea there were so many "types" of rosewood and that some types are not called rosewood. Thanks for prompting the information.
Thank you. I consulted that link (but thanks!) , but stumbled across it when one of our generous members send me kingwood. So I looked it up and learned that it was also rosewood. The necks of my guitars are also rosewood, but I had no idea there are so many variations. Anyway, thanks for sharing you knowledge!OMG tony the list is long.

Kingwood is another beautiful wood. All these are not cheap but make an item with it and it makes a statement. Kingwood pens are beautiful. Get any exhibition grade material and wow.Thank you.
