I have been turning out my wood bin and found wood I bought from Craft supplies when they sold their bags of spindle blanks.
I have found Chakte Vega, Plum Cherry and Mulberry.
I was wondering how these turned when cut into pen blanks.

They all turn well and take an excellent finish the Chakte can be a bit bland
