Cut this Burl last month and wanted to give it a try----looks like a nice lighter colored wood---turns nice and is great to finish.

I like it. I just cut up a burl for my special and have some shorties left for my own use. It does remind me a lot of maple burl, but it seems to cut smoother.
Nice pen, by the way.

Great looking pen. I have never heard of Ramone before. Beautiful wood.

That is Ramone root burl (found underground) and usually has very high silica content that can dull your tools fast. It usually has lace figure and is sweet smelling wood.

Here is an info about the wood http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_nut

Breadnut/Ramone is related to Jackfruit for those who are familiar with it.
