Recently I received a nice gift from Gary Peck in Singapore. The package contained several blanks which we had spoken of as well as some strange little kits.
While I haven't worked with the kits yet, last week I used a Huang Hualu blank in a pen and this morning I used a Jichimu blank and a Thief Wood blank in two more pens. The photo doesn't do the Jichimu justice as it has a nice deep chocolate swirl wrapping all the way up around the pen. Personally out of the three I like the Jichimu best with the Thief wood coming in a close second. The Huang Huali is the least favorite as I don't find it to be a particularly attaractive wood.
Below are shots I took for my website, first is the Jichimu, second the thief wood and third a shot of all three pens together.
