A freind sent me a box full of pieces of exotic wood from all over the world . It was a very nice gift and quite unexpected and much appreciated.
So this afternoon I tried a few of those pieces and made these pens.
From top to bottom they are;
Succapura from Brazil
Wenge from Zaire
Caboa from Brazil
Tulip Wood, member of rosewood family in Brazil
Thuya root burl from Morocco

All centre bands are aspen from western Canada out of my own local stock.
