Southwest Pen

[rraming]

Now I realize that Cocobolo isn't from the southwest United States but from inventory it was the best match. Same old thing, finished in Pens Plus.
Not really totally impressed with the fit of this kit but maybe I need to check equipment again.
Photo looks better than in the hand

Might as well have two, should have used the cocobolo again!

Although both are nice looking pens, I agree with you, I prefer the Cocobolo one. I think it is because my go-to wood for Southwest themed pens is Sonoran Desert Ironwood which Cocobolo often resembles. Still, Padauk is a really pretty wood - It can be especially chatoyant.
