Oh, now that is one special piece of London Plane!!! I've not seen anything like this from one of our mightiest and loveliest of trees, and you have done a brilliant job making a such a beautiful pen from it. It's often said that we see some top-notch pens on our site but this must take the biscuit!!! It should be framed under glass and placed into a museum just so that people can admire it. And they say that the Mona Lisa is a great work of art - I'll tell yuh what, Billy, that's a mere oil painting alongside this!!!!!!!
