I would make one out of White Oak or Red Oak nicely stained and varnished of course.

Oak grain is too large for a small piece like this. Maple or cherry would be my choice, or go whole hog with cocobolo or mahogany for the win. Scraps aren't hard to come by.

Just go to Woodworkers Source. They have all kinds of exotic woods. They sell small pieces for making pens. You can find almost any grain structure, color and hardness imaginapnable.

you are probably right.  I have some Mahogany laying around.  A little Spar varnish.  It would be a nice touch.

Clearly you are not one of those people that have scraps saved from 12 years ago for just this moment.

As a hobby woodturner and pen maker, I have lots of wood scraps laying around! Some are even useful sizes . . . . .

I bought mine at LPAero Plastics when in Oshkosh years ago.  Perhaps they still have them.
