    Nice colour in that wood Troy. Nicely finished.

    Is it natural colouring, or a form of spalting?
    I saw some pics of some spalting trials on the IAP,
    and a couple had that red colour from the spalting.

    brad its caused from the box elder beetle leaving behind fungal de
    posits which changes the colour of the wood same as ambrosia beetles with ambrosia
    looks really good in the flesh

    Great looking Writing Instrument.
    Fit and finish look excellent on the nice looking piece of timber.
    Well done Troy!
