Finally - A pen for me!

[soligen]

I finally finished MY pen today. If it looks kinda familiar, I showed off part of this blank previously on a Zen as a gift for my dad.

No other pen I made has been specced to my hand, and I thought this would be a bit of a showcase, and it matches my dad's pen.

Jr Gent Ballpoint in Rhodium. All Comments welcome.

That's a design highly likely to be copied by many! :biggrin:
Great looking pen.

Nicely done Dennis, I bet you would pat yourself on the back every time you take it out to use and i think you should, too. this pen deserves the front page showcase.

Great looking pen! Looks different than the set-up for it you showed me. Of course now it is finished. A treasure for sure.

Follow the herringbone 360 guide, but glue veneers on the side of the squares before glueing it up... If you look at my post of my first 360 that I made, I did something similar, but glued veneer to the top of the squares before glueing instead of the sides.

The pen looks GREAT! I may have to do one up useing a combination of out 2 different techniques. One veneer glued to the top, and a different color glued to the side.

Glue the veneer to the sides of the blank before slicing into square tiles - much easier than what you had to do glueing to the tops. The next one I have in mind will need to do both.
