A gift from Akbar

[Dalecamino]

When I met Steve Schwitzer in Cape Coral,Fl. last year,he gave me this blank. It is ,African Blackwood,Padauk with black&white venier. It WAS a full length blank:redface:but,I decided to use this one to drill on the lathe for the first time:redface:.I learned ALOT that day. Someday,when I get my TS jig,I will try making some of these blanks.Thanks for looking!

And,THANK YOU again Steve!!:biggrin:

chuck that's very nice looking pen. It may be that your pic. is too dark ,but I can't tell the distinction on the line that much or it maybe my comp., but from what I can see and make out it's beautiful. It's like segmented right?
