YUP, that's what this is... JINDORA BURL... I managed to score 5 matched sets of pen blanks.. will probably never see anymore again.. I believe it is an Asian wood, I can't find any info on it in Google..
Edit: Found out the proper spelling is Sindora and it is actually a Legume from Tailand and Laos... SO this pen is made from a bean plant.. LOL
Real pretty wood and like most burls a little tricky to work with..
The pen is a Berea Perfect Fit Convertable... nice size and feels real good in the hand.. best part is that it takes a Parker style refill and you only need to buy a $2.00 pencil converter that fits in the kit... no special pencil only kit that costs more..
