Olive Wood Pen, originally uploaded by sbgulfcoast.

As promised here’s a picture of the pen I made from the Olive wood. I love the grain of this wood. I’ll be able to get a few more pens from this batch of wood. If you are interested in purchasing one just let me know.

I’m excited about the shipment I received today. Last year my wife’s grandfather passed onto me a wonderful gift. He taught me how to create pens on a wood turning lathe. It was a huge blessing to spend that time with him and to have that blessing passed on to me. So today the shipment was some Olive wood from Bethlehem in Israel. I’m excited to get this wood on the lathe and carve it into a pen. As soon as the pens have been completed I’ll share the photo.
