Hi Peter what a nice pen and turning, Is the wood a hard wood or soft

You didn't count the growth rings did you? ? Very nice pen, I like the grooved detailing and the wood is very interesting.

Possibly Tasmanias best known softwood, by definition Balsa wood is a hardwood I have some Huan dense and heavy, some lighter, but never seen it hardened by plastic.I have a good ton of plain Huon bought many years ago.

What a lovely pen! Tasmania has some great woods, but this is one I haven't seen before. You've turned a beautiful piece of wood into a stunning pen.

Superb looking pen Peter.

One of the woods that has escaped me in my lifetime so far..

As usual, top finish.
