The tree grows only in Tasmania in very wet country grows mm,s per yr this blanks came from an old tree. Played with the design, had fun dusted off my New Guinea shell to be different.

The first item near to a pen was a perfume dispenser shaped like a pen real fun for me to use Huon any time it varies from light in colour to rich golden tones.

Kind regards Peter.:waver::itscool:

That is a lovely pen Peter and even more so for the provenance. Huon looks very similar to Yew.
