A lovely 2 tone piece of ringed gidgee. Absolutely beautiful timber to work with. Hard as heck and smells like sweet raspberries and dark chocolate.
(Well maybe I was just hungry!)
Fully sleeved with Nikko ebonite, gloss ca finish
M14 triple start threads. Jowo #6 nib

Another beaut from the Casey stable.
The timber certainly looks solid and would challenge your tools.
Lovely job.

I love gidgee. I wish it was easier to find. Beautiful pen!

Gorgeous! I love the contrast between the yellow and brown sides. Love the figure too. Your finish is perfect, as usual. Thanks for sharing!
