Ash and Brazilian Rosewood
This falls under the category “feature” in my book. When I see a knot in a piece of wood I can’t help but wonder what kind of grain is inside it. This is actually split through in the middle part and you can see brass in one spot. If that bothers you I’d be willing to make you a pen out of pure, clean wood, but if you’re like me a piece like this can be more beautiful than the flawless piece. I’m sure this is all just a metaphor for the nature of humanity, but I’ll leave that for someone else.
Sorry, this product is sold. If this was your favorite let me know. I would be happy to make something similar.
