very very nice,, huon pine "birds eye" i have made a few pens from that stuff . very nice to work with , i have some left which i treasure and use very sparingly . pens made from that are the kind of pens i normally charge a bit more for because its not that easy to come by and never cheap so i figure that makes the pen worth more , plus i mostly only use it on the up market type kits to do it justice .
