    Default Ibo aka irish bog oak

    Swapped with a friend in the USA and this pen blank arrived marked IBO. It is so deep black with brown flecks through. It is as black as African Ebony I have had but much less brittle and the best example of fully dried old timber I have seen. I enjoyed the experience using a kit I have kept for a special occasion.DSCF8649.JPGDSCF8644.JPGDSCF8641.JPGDSCF8643.JPG

    Very impressive Peter. That pen really makes a statement.
    What is that kit you used, are they available to buy somewhere?

    Hi Brad in the mists of time now mate but I think a kit sold by Exotic Blanks years ago. I think it was discontinued mores the pity.

    Kind regards Peter.
