I have been asked to make a black and white pen from wood (white cap and a black body). The black is not a problem as I have some ebony.


As for the white, I have browsed the internet and found that American Holly would fit the bill, however the shipping charges from the States are extortionate.

Does anyone know of a UK supplier or indeed another wood alternative ?
