    Nice selection David, I think anyone would have trouble picking just one, though Tiger Myrtle is a favourite of mine and I suspect I would choose one of those.

    David, There is a tune whenever I hear the song of a bird etc whenever I see a number of pens my first and best description is overall they sing. Personal preferences such as Huon Pine leap out easy to see almost feel I am at home with Huon it is warm and tactile as your two Huon Pens are. The two Tiger Myrtle are fulsome in that there is loads of striping and deep colour going on they suit the kit also not random ,the Burled Red Mallee is always difficult to look into so small has character, Burled Myrtle very strong representative of this timber high quality, Spaulted Myrtle commands a closer inspection with its deep shades of interest,Fiddle Back Blackwood always shimmers at this level of preparation commands and demands to be seen, Beefwood comes in a huge variety in its place with the others.

    In short when confronted with ten exciting pens I feel sure they will make future customers gasp and consider who made these I know and firmly believe your product in this case pens form a great level of neat timbers especially Australian ready to display freely in any other company holding their individual and collective purpose to further the need to see more of our great resource, we talk of EXOTIC to me these are EXOTIC evocative memories right on our doorstep.

    Preferences for me are for each one unilaterally always believing you only compare Huon with Huon etc so as to enjoy more fully and not lock out anything from the experience.

    Now you know I like them all and why I was at a very known gallery recently a distance from Canberra also noted the way pens are displayed by whoever and located somewhere with other beaut timbers the discerning buyer will seek them out wish you success with these they deserve it.

    Kind regards Peter.
