I was torn apart twice recently once with my Lignum Vitae blank then this blank I have had for many years this blank especially gave the appearance of a shrunken head in a Borneo Longhouse you see they were both covered all over in wax something I normally completely stay away from. How mistaken I was this blank is one of the most outstanding grain compositions I have ever seen. I have never owned a Corrugata blank before they originate from Western Australia in the Goldfields area, certainly like some more of them.

Read yesterday TEMPORARY INSANITY clinical verdict turn two pens come back and see me in the morning this is one result.

Kind regards Peter.:thumbs:

Superb looking pen Peter, i have to agree with you in that the grain in this wood is special ... You Aussies seem to have some of the best Burrs in the world for sure ... :thumbs:

Appreciate your kind remarks set to go into the cave again today for some therapy. Wilma and I were called last night to be Missionaries in our Chuch for 18 mths an at home mission means we dont have to go away and can maintain our family of pets and activities. This week I got back into keeping Carniverous Plants that are a passion of mine especially the taller Saracena varieties will take a pic later of my start up bunch.

Kind regards Peter.:goesred:

I need to go to bed Peter I read the above as Millionaires and thought you had a lottery win.
Mind those plants don't eat you (Day of the triffids).
Nice pen too up to your usual perfection, always a pleasure to view.

You really are lucky with such stunning wood in your part of the world. I know we have some woods that are nice, but you seem to have them all..

As usual Peter, can't fault it.. Top notch.....
