Are you sure the wood is Oak Burl...???
If you haven't mentioned any wood names, I would swear on all my timber stock that, the wood is possibly some of my She/Bull Oak. That wood has "rays" and the colour is all wrong for the Oaks...!
Is nothing too strange to have marked the blanks with the wrong name or even someone sending you pen blanks, marked wrongly...!:wink:
The way the wood works, is also as you described, reason why you got me all confused so, if you don't mind, could you please, "re-check" the blank/wood name for us ...!:wink::biggrin: Thanks
The wood is certainly gorgeous and the fit and finish are very good and, while not too crazy about " fat bellied" pens, yours seems pleasant to the eye...!
Cheers
George

Thank you!!
It's not as fat as it looks! The camera adds 10 growth rings :biggrin:
The pen is leaning back about 15 degrees or so and that accentuates it a bit.
As for the wood, here is where it came from
