While waiting for the electrical hookup...
...for the dust collector I just knocked out some simple pens. Made these last night and during lunch break today.
The top one is "Sakura" which is a Japanese cherry and was harvested in downtown Tokyo. The middle is Walnut, which was harvested locally and I got in trade for fixing a guy's computer and printer. The bottom is "Ambrosia Maple" which is a normal maple that was infested by the Ambrosia beetle. A fungus grows, causing the coloring. The beetle feeds on the fungus, not the tree. In any case, there are no beetles in the wood and the fungus is not harmful.
Which do you like?

Wow, they are all beautiful but I like the marbelized look of the fungus one.
I would like the fungus one too, if I didn't know that there was fungus involved.
They are really beautiful.
The unique coloring in the lower pen makes it more apealing, the story along with it gives it a definite "win".
