According to that page, it's on sale. $75,000, marked down from $100,000. Better jump on it before the sale ends.That's definitely impressive. Wonder what it costs.
BTW, I have often wondered if customers really care what a wood is. I have gotten the impression that how it looks is what matters.
If it were a new cut maple/oak/cherry/whatever, would the customer like it less than a piece of wood that had been in the mud for 50,000 years?

Hey Jeff, I have some two year old red eucalyptus with nice figure that I'll let go for the bargain price of $1,995 -- this week only.

I've had similar questions about whether customers really care about the origin of the wood, but the ancient kauri pen blanks I've worked with have been amazingly chatoyant when finished. Maple/oak/cherry would have to be pretty unique to catch a customer's eye more that the kauri.
Certainly a nice piece of wood, but shipping would be a killer.........
