A souvenir from Ireland. The actual souvenir is the wood under the pen. When he found out I was a fellow wood-worker, Mark (our host at the Lawcus Farm)
gifted me a block of wood from his shop. The block of teak was rescued from an Irish navel base that was dismantled, and the teak was planking
that was sold off. The pen I turned (on a lathe) is from a slice of the teak.
