Texas Ebony Pens

Texas Ebony (Pithecellobium flexicaule ) ( Ebony Blackbeard) is a rare, expensive wood, only found in the very southern part of Texas.  The tree can reach 50 feet in the woods along the Rio Grande. It has rich brown heartwood and light sapwood with a slight tinge of green overall.  This is a gorgeous, tight-grained wood that is my favorite native Texas wood to work with.  It finishes extremely well (even better than mesquite) in my opinion, and would make a great gift for someone who appreciates something that is native to Texas and  hand-crafted in Texas, or the USA.   I have created a special card for these pens to show the pride of Texas craftsmanship!   Enjoy.
