Double Crossed Black Baron

[Ravenbsp]

Here is my latest attempt at not super-gluing my fingers to a project. Comments are welcome! Its made from African Blackwood, the laminate material consists of 3 sheets of veneer, mesquite sandwiched between sheets of curly maple.

Great pen Bryan, the finish is so much better when there is no skin attached. []

Very nice Bryan, sharp looking pen.[]

OOOOOWEEEE, that is nice. Reminds me of the old Navy electronics tech insignia.

Looks good, Bryan. Nice job on the alignment of all the segments! That can be tricky.

Excellent workmanship. I know how hard it can be to make everything line up correctly and you did a superb job.

Really nice pen Bryan. I'm going to have to learn how to do that.

The final look is too busy for my tastes. But consider the source, I am not a fan of 'busy' looks. But the work and the laminations are excellent craftsmanship. Actually, I wish I could do that. I can't even visualize how it is done. Got a big gap in my right brain (or is it left brain) creative area.

Pretty neat. I like the body better than the cap, but you did a great job with the laminations.

Looks like you spent a bunch of time making a real sharp looking pen.

 

[huntersilver]

Wow...can't even imagine how much effort and talent goes on that.

Good job!!!

I have to agree with Frank. It's a beautiful pen and extremely well done but a bit busy on the bottom barrel for my taste. That having been said, I have a really hard time lining my cuts up half as well as you did. All in all it's an awesome pen with some great craftsmanship. Nice work!

Bryan,
Very well done! Do you have another piece of Blackwood that you can turn another bottom out of? I would love to see this particular color combination with a solid color lower barrel.

I tend to agree with the bottom of the pen. For some reason I just couldn'leave it alone. I do have quite a bit of ABW, so I may take a look at the alternate configuration. I appreciate the input and opinions!

Great job Bryan,
And just remember everyones taste differs. Some like buzy, some don't.
But someone will want this pen.

Excellent lamination work, a great deal of work must have gone into this pen.[:0]
I must admit that i would have to liked to have sen the pen barrel plain, but thats just my own taste.
Keep up the good work.[]
