This pen is unique in two ways.  First, though pens come from the same piece of wood, the coloring and grain will look different.  Secondly, this pen is turned on a lathe with great care, one at a time.

This pen is made from Lacewood.  Native to Eastern Australia, it is planted extensively as a shade tree for coffee and tea plantations. 

A beautiful pen made excusively for the St. Joseph School auction.
