I honestly can't remember the last time I turned a pen. This summer has been crazy.

The blank is 1 of 5 made by a friend. The wood is actually bark from an Ash. The wood is nicely rippled but this bark is amazing. The ripple transmitted to the bark.

The pen is an old Washington roller ball I found looking for a Churchill.
