    Will you stop posting photos of your pens - you are only making me jealous

    Simply love that timber.
    Superb pen - keeper or was it a commission?

    Oh my! I have got to get some of that wonderful timber. Beautiful pen.

    man that would have to be the most wicked example of Tiger myrtle I have seen. Amazing pattern in the wood. Nice transition from barrels to the hardware, a neat fit up and a very good finish as well. First time I have seen a Ti Gold kit used as well, works well with the blank. Have been using the Sterling Silver one at the moment.

    Thanks for all the comments,

    It was just dumb luck to find those couple of pieces, but I wlll keep an eye out for more.

    I haven't been selling any pens on commission yet, just making them and then hoping to sell them to a local gallery.

    That one's a beauty!
    Excellent fit and finish.
    Great match of kit plating to timber.
    Nice photo too.

    Mag,
    I don't believe that your timber is spalted tiger myrtle, it is more likely to be be just spalted myrtle.

    You could be right, although the blank showed what looked like tiger myrtle stripes prior to the turning.
