Looks like Yew. The contrast is a bit to much for me. I like to see the grain run through into the other half. Matched tubes, with the flow of grain in both.

I suppose it might look better built up into a pen, but I don't want to burn an expensive kit on something that doesn't work. Not really set on using it to be honest, just after some thoughts on it.As @pittswood has said, I too like to see the flow of the grain then there wouldn't be the conundrum of the contrast...
If you only have the option of half size blanks then maybe use acrylic for one part or put two acrylic spacers( washers) on either end of both blanks to define their ends then that contrast wouldn't show too much
