Fibron pen

Fibron is a man made material similar to plywood. The wood plys are dyed are impregnated with a resin. Unlike plywood, he plys go in the same direction. This stuff is very hard and not the easiest stuff to turn. It gets very hot when during drilling and often cracks. After sanding, 3 step buffing give it a great shine.

Good looking pen Glen. Does this material come in different colors?

Smokey, It comes in a bunch of colors, all in dowel or sheet form. They have a color called 'cocobolo' that is nice knock off (color wise) of the real wood. Their web site is fibronproducts.com. They are local to me (Buffalo, NY) so I went down and picked what I wanted.
