Two Barons.
First is blue dyed maple burl, where the dye only penetrated the spalted areas, giving a nice dark spalt line dividing the blue and natural colored wood. Four lines of Inlace inlay.
Second is a guitar themed pen, for one of my groomsmen. Red stabilized curly maple, pickguard, rosewood and curly maple. Frets are aluminum siding and markers are finish nails (not recomended, had to work those with a file). I got a big fat blister on my thumb from all the hand sanding I had to do on this one.

After about a dozen tries each, these are the best photos I could come up with. They are actually shiny, I promise.

Ryan brought his pen to our regional IAP meeting yesterday and I swiped his pen for a couple of photos after the tutorial.

Ryan,

Nice pens! Beautiful in fact!

If you do another guitar-themed pen, try using silver wire for the markers. It's a little better behaved than a finish nail! Dang nice job though!

Scott.
