This is Makore, with blackwood and maple. It was hard to turn, because of the varying hardness of the materials, but it's my best so far, I think. It was made for my customer's husband, for fathers' day. It looks sweet in a black box. We looked at chrome, gold and copper and my wife agreed with me on the plating. It brings out some of the red in the wood. I forgot to use BLO, so the curl didn't show up as much as I would have liked, as this was a nice curly blank, but you live and learn. Comments welcome. Two views of one pen.
Thanks,
Rob
