Here are the first two pens of a four-pen order, all in amboyna burl wood. Definitely one of my favourite woods to work with. Despite the fact that it is a pain to drill (the crazy grain makes it hard to maintain a straight drill), the smell is wonderful! Has a lovely pungent spicy smell to it. Which of course, you can't tell from these pens because they are completely sealed. But trust me, it's nice.
The two pen styles here are the 'Simplicity II' (the flat, bevelled ends), and the 'Purity' (spherically rounded ends). Both are very comfortable to use, thought they do not post.
Like all my current wood pens the cap of this one is completely line with acrylic to maintain a good seal and keep the pens from drying out quickly. The threading and grip section are all made out of black acrylic.
Both pens are fitted with fine two-tone steel JoWo nibs.
Thanks for looking!
Ken
