Morton Fig (edited pictures)

[cigarman]

The Morton Bay Fig is from a tree harvested from the Edison-Ford Winter Estate in Florida when the tree was damaged. This tree was planted by Thomas Edison about 80 years ago. Not only considered an exotic wood, but this wood has a historical significance as well.
The kit is a Baron platium.

Very nice, Tom. How did you happen to get the wood?

 

[cigarman]

The wood came from the The Wooden Post http://www.woodenpost.com/
The owner is a good friend and one of my favorite suppliers.

Interesting finish. The pen already looks like an antique!!

I agree with Bill, it already looks like an antique. And with the history it ought to have a price to match! Kirk[8D]
