The pen is MUCH better than the signature! []

You know, a month ago I got some amboyna burl blanks and thought it was the best, most drop dead gorgeous wood available for pen making... then I see a photo such as yours and have to re-think things! Really nice looking pen.

NOW.... I have to start hunting for some Sassafras burl![] Geeze, the hunt NEVER ends![]

Thank you for your comment. By the way Nolan has some AWESOME 2 tone Amboyna.

Very nice pen, and very nice color....will have to contact Nolan to see if he has any more. I felt the same way about the size of the Gentleman's pen...just too big....I will only make them for special order. I like the Jr. Gent much more. Did someone say Two Tone Amboyna??? I love that stuff!

I'm curious about the hardware. Is that chrome or titanium with some copper? What ever it is it goes very well with the wood. Very good looking. []

Rhodium from CSUSA. No copper though.
