Bit of a risk as I think Wenge is a difficult wood (Colour wise) to look good on pens and the pen choice is also something that needs to be looked at with this wood.
I think I have done well with it but I am happy to hear your views.

That satin black works well, as would gold I think.... I agree Wenge is not an easy wood as it can be very open grained and you need to be meticulous in your finishing. Nice job mate :thumbs::thumbs:

I think a Rose Gold may work but not convinced on normal gold although I may well be wrong. I think it is something I will most definitely look at sometime :thumbs:
