Hi, Guys,

Several years back Lord Woody sent me a box of goodies (when he thought his wood-working days were over - they weren't, thank God!) In among the other stuff were several sticks of Castellano box wood (highly prized by musical instrument makers). I've made some nice pens from them, and I think this is the last stick I had left. It's a lovely wood to turn, and shines up beautifully. Grits to 600, white spirit to pop the grain, and about six coats of friction polish. Voila!

This looks a bit like PaulM's cherry Jnr. Gents he's posted.
