I've turned 10 or so pens out of Ipe, It is a very hard dense wood, that will nearly buff to a high luster with out any finish, most of the time Ipe is pretty plain looking with out much character, however this blank was sent to me by a friend who does decking, and works with and curses at Ipe a lot, The pen is a TI Baron Fountain Pen, with a custom button finial, and one of DCbluesmans Heritance SF nibs. it's finished with 5 coats of thin CA and two medium coats, These pictures don't show half the beauty of this wood,
