What wood is this?

[Quality Pen]

First of all, is there a special forum for asking such (newbie) questions like this? :redface: :biggrin:

Anyways, I turned this, broke it, and am wondering what it is... gave me nothing but trouble for some reason! But it looked awesome. haha

While you are waiting for people to start guessing, here's an interesting resource that shows pictures of lots of different species of wood. There are a lot of pages to go through, but maybe you can find a match:

Very nice! Thanks for the link it looks cool, albeit overwhelming right now! :bulgy-eyes:

It makes me reminisce about looking at slides in biology lab during university lol... good times!

Here is an excellent site for a huge range of woods and variations within the woos.

Wood identification by photos is not very reliable -- you may narrow the choices, but probably will not be definitive (except in the mind of those making the guesses).

Looks like Macassar ebony to me.

maybe black and white ebony

It looks like black and white ebony to me also.

Whatever, it will make a nice pen.

You must send these blanks to me for inspection... :hypnotized:

You can send the blanks my way for further inspection (I'm a LOT closer than Mike)

I'll hop on the Macassar Ebony bandwagon.

I agree that it is Black/White Ebony....

I also think that it is some kind of ebony.
