The two pen and pencil sets here are Christmas gifts. Once for a co-worker, and one for a family friend. Hers is inscribed using a woodburner and made of pink ivory. His is made of mahogany.

These were both turned for my sister and brother-in-law. She chose a tulipwood for the pencil and he wanted black walnut for the pen.

Here is a pen made of Ziracote. I do not turn out a lot of pens and consider myself an amateur at it. Pen turning is sort of a culture of its own within woodworking.
