The third of the blanks sent to me by Neil. I was quite surprised as the colours in the blank showed that it would have some green in it but when turned there wasn't any.

Lignum seems to have a wide range and that piece is gorgeous:thumbs:

Paul that is gorgeous :thumbs:

Seeing what Peter wrote about the range, is lignum a bit hit and miss and better to view rather than buy online?
:thinks:

I haven't had a bit of Lignum Vitae that isn't nice yet Andy and wouldn't worry where I get it from but as I found out here what you think you've getting isn't necessarily how it'll end up.

Lovely pen Paul.:thumbs:

I've had a piece of lignum vitae for a while now. I think I might have to turn it and see what colour is underneath the green :thinks:

Very nice that, the colour is affeted by UV as well, I had one which was very green before turning, it disappeared as turned and left me disappointed.

A week of leaving it on the window sill and it went a lovely green again.

But that is a lovely deep colour, someone will be happy with that.

Not bad for a load of old balls :funny:
