I buy it...
my part time job sells the stuff, it comes in just about any exotic wood or hardwood you want, plus maple dyed in blue, black, red, yellow, white, green and purple.
No skill at veneer cutting myself.
Watched a presentation by David Marks, realized I would never be that good...besides, I'm too lazy to work that hard!

That is a sweet lookin' pen. Nice finish without the polishing too
It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

Wow! That is a nice pen.
Surely you had to sand it before you started to apply the finish!
