Here's a pair of matching pen and rest's. These were cut from the same root stock, the pens friction polish and rests with a furntiure restorers wax compound.
The olive wood cut well - it is probably around 800yrs old - seems that the older the better! If you look carefullly my picture quality allowing [:I] ! The grain travels across the pen to the rest.
Interesting fact: You will see little round marks in the wood, this is where the olive tree picks up stones and dissolves them!! I guess we all just gotta get our minerals somehow!!
