Ringed Mulga Fountain Pen

Just finished this pen and I absolutely LOVE this wood! Really happy with how this came out

Sorry for the watermark, these are what I posted on social media

Beautiful work.

Nice timber!

Never heard of it but beautiful. Like the way the rings appear to carry all of the way around, vs curl which can change chatoyance on some sides.

Acacia...that is a particularily good looking piece. Nice pen.

Gorgeous blank.

What kit is that?

Wow, that's beautiful wood! I had never seen or heard of Mulga, either. It seems there is also a Black Mulga.

For anyone interested, this is some of what I found. These pictures make me think there is quite a variation in the color of it. I wouldn't have expected it to be an evergreen.
