Slimline and Jr Gent II with Bois de Rose

[JimBobTucson]

This is a repost with pictures of both the pens that I was able it get out of a scrap piece of Rosewood. Thanks to everyone who helped out identifing this mystery wood. It is in fact "Bois de Rose (Dalbergia maritima)" (image below). It is a gorgous Rosewood out of Madagascar and smells just like a perfume while cutting (sure beats the wet dog smell of zebra wood). I will pick up some more of it and may have some extra blanks to offer to the group if anyone is interested.

I've seen some listings for red ebony on ebay. It could also be Bois de Rose, real rosewood. It turns almost black with age. Whatever it is, it's gorgeous wood.
