That is definitely a beautiful piece of oak.

Nice pen and you are right beautiful pattern. Question is Navel oak a type of oak?

Naval live oak

Live oak is local to this area, in fact in 11828 the IS govt bought a section of land to propagate them...As they were primarily used for shipbuilding at that time, they became "Naval Live Oak". There is still a park there and is a nice spot to catch speckled trout t

Should read 1828, not 11828, and US Govt not IS Govt...My #rheum hands aren't as good as they once were for typing.
