Nice pen Karl. Looks like the bottom shape would be comfortable.

thanks for the comments. the one thing i would like to state is that the cloudy or fuzzy area on the top part is not the pen it is my camera...

I am still using a minolta 404 that i bought waaaaaayyyyy back when and it really does need upgraded, doesnt focus properly.

Nice work, Karl. I don't know how you guys can tell the exotics apart. Roland can recognize them from pics, and I can barely get them right when I am looking at the name!

depends on what you are used to. I dont know exotics real well but i know them better than domestics. My favorite domestic would have to be walnut with sapwood still intact.. love it..

Now the imported rosewoods are a problem.... i have looked for woods before and after searching and finally finding it, gee i already had it... under another name...
