Spalted Oregon myrtlewood that i picked up from Reedsport, Oregon.
I bought a board of this stuff about 36" long by 6"wide by 1 1/2" thick.
this wood gave me troubles.
first it is not stablelized(spelling?)
when i squared the wood to the tubes the mill took chunks out of the edge. i didn't notice this till i assembled the pen. thats when i noticed chunks missing right against the clip holder on the pen.
so back to square 1. what i had to do was part off just a whisker after making the wood round at the edge then file down the tube to the wood. I ended up turning the pen twice and the pencile once(did the pen first). the base is also from the same board.
The pen and pencile set are from csusa.
let me know what you think.
