I'm not sure what wood this is but I like the finished item, it's my 4th pen and I'm happy.

I tried something a little different, I'm not sure if its been done before so I may have reinvented the wheel but I sprayed some teak oil onto a lintfree cloth and rubbed it into the wood until my fingers couldn't take the heat and it gave the nice dark colour shown. Before hand it was quite white and really tough to drill. Then I gave it a few coats of CA and it's shiny but it's overcast outside now so no reflection :(
