This is a Havana fountain pen made from Rich's spalted figured Oak. The customer wanted the longer body that is part of the rollerball kit rather than the Little Havana body. I am not used to working with Oak. It is so hard, it takes quite a while to remove the sanding marks as you progress through the Micromesh.

Wow, Jim. That's a Grand Slam of a pen. La Habana Magnifico! I never paid $4 for an oak blank until these from Rich, but I've got to say that they are worth every penny!
 
Lou,
I've never paid $4 per blank of Oak either until these came along. The truth is this particular Oak blank was a freebie that Rich threw in with some other blanks I bought from him. That's quite a bonus!
 
Jim, that's a beautiful pen and I agree about that spalted oak. It's without a doubt some nice stuff and worth the bigger price tag. Nice work!
 
Thats beautiful Jim, I really like that wood. I just finished a four piece desk set for my Wife with that wood and it also turned out really nice. I think that I'll post pic's of too.
