Flower marketry pen

[chrisk]

This Jr Statesman is inlaid by Greek marketry craftsman Dimitris Misailis (see here: http://www.penturners.org/forum/f13/antique-ornament-marketry-pen-98643/). Among other pens he made for me, Dimitris crafted this one for his wife. This guy uses his scrollsaw like a laser!
The woods: African Blackwood, Maple, Tulipwood.
A real challenge to turn this pen!

Sorry for the pics. They don't do justice to this pen.

That is a awesome looking pen....Could someone tell me where they get this type of pen display? I have seen the plain stand up one but looked the web over looking for something like this. PSI sells one that has a place for a cap but no regular Pen ones.

Fantastic work on the blank, the turning, and finish. I do scrollsawing but I don't think I could do something like that. Thank you for showing.
