I was given this wood quite a while ago telling me it was Spalted Apple Wood, i am still not 100% sure it is? It is on a chrome plated slimline. The center band is made from red home made resin ... 8 coats of CA and polished with Meguiars Scratch X ...

Take a guess
Not uncommon for apple to rot from the inside, so could well be apple wood, whatever it is it`s made a very nice pen. :bravo:
