The first time I've used Cocobolo and what a lovely wood to use. While I don't particularly like Euros, I have some left so here it is. Finished with ca.

That is a fine looking writing instrument. This wood does have some nice grain at times. It is also a wood that many people run away from because of alergic reactions to when turning or getting the dust on the skin. Sometimes it takes periods of time to become allergic to it. Others have no ill effect on. I have used it many times myself and to date have not had any bad reactions. It is a nice colored wood. Thanks for showing.
