Couple og Jr Gents

[Seer]

The first is Lace She Oak on a Black TI Jr Gent II rollerball. I got this blank in trade with Bruce (Simomatra) and finally put it on a nice kit. I would rather have the wood speak for itself than a lot of bling on a pen but that's my personal tastes.
The second is Afzelia Burl on a Black TI Jr Gent II and was a mystery blank until I got help identifying it at the Desert Woodturners Roundup last weekend here. I thought it was Amboyna Burl but when I told them the spice ordor I got they were pretty sure it was Afzelia Burl, no matter what I love turning this blank. I need to get a different background for black finish pens though.

Jerry, I don't care what you call the wood, you did a beautiful job on those two pens. As far the background, you could have shot those photos in a coal mine at midnight using existing light and the wood would still have been outstanding. Thank you for taking the time to show those beautiful pens.
