This blank came from the batch I bought recently, it had no name on it but was my first choice for turning into a pen due to it's striking colour contrasts, shown here on a chrome Jr Gents rollerball.
You're both right Eamonn, ciocobolo is a rosewood, dalbergia retusa to be precise,Very nice Doug, I have a piece of rosewood with sap wood that looks just like that. But also agree it could be cocobolo.
Very nice pen and blank no matter what it is..
