Nice one Popeye, I have seen some lovely olive wood, all I seem to get hold of is crap stuff.
I had a very expensive parcel from The Bethlehem olive wood company and wasted my money.
Be careful if you order from tinternet init.
That looks a bit full of character, very nice.

That is a lovely bit of olive wood and well made as well. Like Woody, Ive been indecisive for a long time but cant get myself to like the sedona, having one end domed and the other square just doesnt balance it aesthetically for me.

Olive in a pen to be proud of the conversation lingers on provenance some of my best came from a disused group of trees I had access to 4hrs drive away the grain was sparse with some great exceptions.

THanks for showing the various faces .

I have the same problem with the kit Neil but some times when dressed in the right wood it dose look a lot better Its probably the wood that sways me sometimes

What a great piece of wood, topped with a great looking kit that matches the wood realy well.

I'm also on the fence with the Sedona, but I believe that this works really well and something to be proud of Johnny.. :thumbs:
