AS the tree grows the sapwood moves around in twisted form this blank 150 yrs old.

Lovely pen and stunning piece of wood. You certainly have your own signature design. Whilst the designs not for me on this pen I really appeciate the skill, I think if I were to try the indentations it would just look like I can't make a consistent curve.

What a stunning piece of wood, well turned and finished. Like others the design is not for me, but I do appreciate the workmanship and skill involved :thumbs:

I wonder if it is that wood that the makers of diamond wood got their inspiration from. I love the inclusion of the sapwood as well:thumbs:
