Spectraply is a dyed laminated wood product, similar to plywood, that comes in many colors.
This one started out black and yellow. Sanding didn't go so well, and the yellow turned almost black with the dust. Naturally, I took a torch to really darken everything up.
The result is a really dark pen with hints of some of the yellow layers trying to come through. Its a nice looking pen contrasted with satin nickel accents.
I finished it with a CA finish in order to give the durability to hold up to every day use and it uses cross refills available at most office supply stores.
