Did a bit of a clear-out behind my bandsaw and found this blank, aint got a clue where I got it from but its spalted nicely, wasn't to soft or spongy so I thought I would test some of you guys.:devil:

What wood is it?

Don't ask me......I aint a clue!!

Turned up quite easy, only needed CA for finishing.
Wrapped it around a Chromed JR Rollerball, usual finishes of CA, TCut and Mer Wax....

:bwink:

I'd agree with that man, certainly reminiscent of some spalted Beech I have :nooidea::nooidea:

Either way it's really is a super pen mate, well turned & finished :thumbs::thumbs:

What with Neil, and now you Rowdy, this is turning into a right quiz forum. :funny:

I haven't got a clue but its lovely wood and you've done a superb job with it, it looks great and is well and truly up to your normal excellent standard
