This pen is from the other wild olive blank I got from Zambezie Exotics that I turned with my barrel/band style. The black band in the middle of the pen, separating the two segments of the pen, is actually two pieces of thin laminate glued to the ends of the blanks prior to turning. With the lighter woods, it really stands out and ties in nicely with the black band on the pen clip (not visible in the pic). The pen was finished with shellawax.
