longwood twist pen, rapala lacewood, and gold hardware, cross style refill

Description

This listing shows my pen made with Rapala Racewood.  It has gold colored hardware.
This handmade pen was
turned from a block of
Rapala Racewood
, at least that is what the company that sold me the wood block called it.  I can't find anything that refers to it so I don't really know what it is but it supposedly came from South America.  After turning, I sanded the wood to 600 grit, then applied multiple layers of friction polish to a medium-high shine.  The pen was then assembled using gold hardware.
I tried to show detail so you can see what it looks like.
The hardware of these pens is called a longwood style.  The pen uses a standard cross style refill and can be replaced by simply pulling the two halves apart, removing the refill and replacing it.  Refills are available at any office supply store.
