    Thumbs up

    Simply gorgeous Peter!!

    There is something about Ebony that grabs your attention.

    I once made an Ebony slimline as a gift for my son's high school principal. His comment was tha the moment he saw the pen it made his hair stand on end.

    Very nice, well turned out (pun intended) always reckon that the African Ebony always comes up a treat especially with the glimmer of brass.

    Nothing too flashy about that pen done with regards to distinctly hi-lightling a terrific timber.

    cheers
