Yesterday, a day of firsts

[Moondoggy]

My first ever Omega
My first ever Burl
My first ever CA finish



Not sure what the wood is, can any of you guys identify it?
I bought two block about six years ago, from someone at a craft fair for 50 pence per block.
Enough quite a few pens.

One of the Neils will tell you but looks like oak to me

Whatever it is, nice job.

Very nice indeed, I was rather hoping for burr Elm and at first thought it could be but on a closer look I would guess at Oak too.

Well done Paul, I'd say Burr Oak as well. It looks like you've been making them forever, its superb
