    Default Acacia

    Stumbling through my pens for presents decided on this one for a close friend.

    Kind regards Peter.

    Seasons best to everyone.

    Particularly like the details at the ends, really sets the wood off and makes what would be a simple slim pen into a nice heirloom.
    Details like that make all the difference.

    I agree with Ed. Nice work on the ends, and that timber sure has plenty of character. Your friend should be very happy.

    elegant peter, i'd be happy to trip over half a blank like that, let alone stumble onto it.
