Albizia ,family Mimosa one of genus of around 150 species. What was the common name of your blanks Craig?

I have not seen an Empress kit for ages and it supports your two pens so well. Two rippers Craig,thanks for the series of pics that enable the full impact of the two pens revealing their beauty.

Hi Peter
The block of wood has Albizia - Tanga Tanga written on it. It was a piece left to me, so I don't know much about it.

Regards

That Tanga Tanga is one of the genus names comes from Tropical Africa,can cause sinus etc to flare. Thanks for the given name.
