Lovely pen David, very impressive work

It`s me who needs to say sorry as I realised the other day when turning a Euro pen from it that infact it`s rippled Maple .
As you quite rightly say as a blank on the surface the wood doesn't look anything, but that`s more because the board I cut if from has been knocking around the workshop for a couple of years since I was given it & isn`t exactly pristine
