A lovely pen Geo and a very nice wood that I haven't seen for sale here. If there was any criticism then it would be that if you want to put shavings in your pictures, then make them from a contrasting colour as they detract from the pen although I understand why you use the same as the pen wood.

Very nice indeed Giorgos, like others here Almond is not something that i had thought about making a pen with .. One to watch out for in the future .. :thumbs:

Now Almond nuts is a different story .. :love_it:

Really lovely pen Geo. I have a lot of almond wood (grown in the UK) drying at the moment and the heartwood there is more greenish rather than pink-red. The tree must like your climate much better - it picks up a suntan!
