Mistrals in Bloodwood

[Pastor of Muppets]

Firstly thanks to Eamonn for the box

but what's inside?

Two Mistrals. One FP and one RB.
Turned in bloodwood which really isn't as red as I was hoping but still looks lovely!

It certainly not as red as bloodwood can be, are you sure it's bloodwood.

This is my bloodwood

Consistant colouring is unusual in timber. Certainty becomes difficult. I like your two pens for what they are love the box.

They look nice mate, I know bloodwood can change and understand the younger it is the lighter it is. Someone will tell me different if it's not right tho..

Have you ever tried Purple Heart ? Nice wood that darkens with UV.

Glad you like the box as well..

I have just ordered a little light box from a large river in South America so when that arrives I will make an album up rather than just take photos on my cheap melamine desk at work!!
