I'm a big fan of pens with stories, so here goes:
I'm testing for my black belt in Tae Kwon Do in a couple of weeks (yes, I'm one of the oldest by many years). I thought it would be fun to make a pen from one of the boards I broke as a gift for my Master. The wood wasn't all that interesting (just some cheap pine), but with Stan's help (mrcook4570) we really dialed it up with the Korean characters for Tae Kwon Do. Photography isn't great, but the pen turned out really nice. I plan to present the pen some time after my test.
