Its always so interesting to have a history of the wood. Makes the work more noteworthy. In addition those pens are nicely done. Real keepers

Nicely done Karl. I really like the color contrast in them all. Woods with a story are always more interesting.

I really like the woods with a story. I just picked up some oak from the Basking Ridge, NJ Oak tree that was 619 years old! Think of everything that happened during it's life. Also, got some Ipe Coney Island Board Walk and just ordered some wood from the movie set for Clint Eastwood's movie "Outlaw Josey Wales".

Is there any way I can get a piece of that? The Josey Wales wood.

Do you know what part of the set that wood came from?

Those are beautiful and great history with them. My dad was stationed at Moffett Field back in the 60s and I my sister and I were born in San Jose.

The wood came from the Paria town set in Paria Canyon, Utah
