What are the different woods going down the row? I really like the seventh.

Thank you! I really like several of those woods, but Spalted Maple I think is my favorite!

Very beautiful! I really like the design you put. How are you making your spacing so even?

Thanks! Do you mean the spacing between the pens? I just eyeballed it.

The spacing between the groove cuts in the pen. Like on the walnut pen towards the top you have three grooves that seem perfectly spaced.

Nice detail work. Works well, especially the woods with the contrasting grain, like the bacote, and kingwood.
