Looks good from here John. Nice shape on the pen and the material is something you do not see all the time. Thanks for showing and I am sure it will sell well. Happy turning.

Amos ~ "Punga" is the local name for New Zealand Fern palms , The black sections are as hard as Ebony, and the creamy sections are almost "pithy" also has a lot of water ways through the body of the timber so needs to be cast under pressure to make the whole thing solid enough to turn and finish, a bit of effort to produce ,but well worthwhile ,almost like natures way of segmenting hehe, Cheers ~ John
