My 1st Headwind

[Padster]

Bit different to [MENTION=626]flexi[/MENTION] and his version but here was my first attempt today. The wood was I believe Walnut - it was a chunk in the offcuts box at Yandles!

Good looking pen, Paddy.
Doesnt look like walnut.
I'm sure Mark is right, but I'm not too familiar with wenge.

Mark, I did a google of Wenge and it makes sense and looks a lot like it, I see it is also known sometimes as African Rosewood and I know Yandles have stocked it in the past and as I say it came from the bottom of the offcuts bin for I think it was 74p for a piece just under a foot and roughly 2" x 2" with wedge out of the side - I thought it was too good a bargain not to have

Great looking pen Paddy.
Looks like wenge to me as well.

A very nice pen Paddy.

Very impressive.

Beautifully made and I’d go for Wenge too, is / was it open grained when turning?

 

[Terry Q]

Very nice. Wenge makes an appealing pen.

Ripper Paddy, beat turning.
