December 2004 - The wood is African Mahogany and the center band was also made from African Mahogany. On this particular pen I also inlaid an African Mahogany ring on the lower section just to see what it would look like when the inlay is made from the same wood. The contrast in grain makes is look quite nice. This pen was made from the same wood as pen #22 so I do not record all the details about the wood on this one.
