Hi guys,
this pen is made from New Zealand Tawa. This wood was used stock in the refit of the cruise liner RMS Queen Of Bermuda in 1961. The Queen of Bermuda is still very fondly remembered by many Americans who travelled on her.
Some of the liners were world famous, in particular Queen of Bermuda, which was known as the ‘Millionaire’s ship’.

A lovely wood turn and polish. Many thanks to Lignaterrae for the wood.
