Olive

[Doug]

Think this is Olive wood, certainly smelt like it when I was turning it, but it has shades of orange, purple & brown in it

On a gunmetal euro finished with Hutt wax.

Well Doug I have never seen a bit of Olive wood look like that its made an amazing pen love it well done for finding such an unusual bit of wood

 

[Woody]

Great looking pen and finish Doug, as woody, never seen it look that colour but can see that the I pad thingy does make them look different.

I also like the pen stand mate.. Top marks..

Nice work on pen and stand, Doug!

Could that be a piece of cocobolo there, matey? Only a suggestion...

Bob.

Nice pen what ever the wood Doug, love the stand also my friend ..

Quite obviously it was made on the lathe, don't know what made Terry think it was made from using the scrollsaw ...

 

[Doug]

Nice work on pen and stand, Doug!

Thanks Bob,

I don't think it is Cocobolo as it didn't smell right, it definitely smelt like Olive, Cocobolo has a very distinctive smell.

Doug,

Strange -yes. I noticed this when I posted the chilean laurel/peruvian nutmeg on the ipad it was brown and the pc green, or it might have been the other way round

 

[edlea]

Whatever Doug ,you have a fabulous pen there...and the stand aint half bad too .

 

[Penpal]

Great pen not Olive complexion.

Like previous comments, whatever the wood, lovey pen colour and finish. Also love the stand, is there a copyright on it or can we all nick the design?
