Lovely wood:thumbs: strange they are so different, nice pens, but I think it would look nicer if there was a slight separation.

Hi Paul the only blank I had of this tree reminded me of Cedar light in weight shiny reflective like blackwood lovely to work with I have heard it called the five o,clock tree cause the leaves fold up that time in the afternoon, the leaves are Mimosa like related to Inga that is a Mimosa or sensitive plant.The tree secretes from the canopy hence the name one of at least fifty Rain Tree.

Your pens do vary somewhat but a lovely brown colouring I go with the top pen for beaut swirling colour.

Kind regards Peter.:thumbs::thumbs:
