Herringbone

[BRobbins629]

Been on my list for a while and finally got one finished. Pattern in cap is 360 degree herringbone. Looks the same from any view.

Very well done I love it. May I ask you to explain how you did it?

Very nicely done,What is the wood,, carl

Bruce, I really like that design. I'd like to know how to do it too, if you don't mind sharing it.

Top marks for sure!!!!! A 360 herringbone has to be one of the trickiest and time consuming glue ups imaginable. Very well done Bruce.

Awesome Job!

 

[louisbry]

Wow! Wish I could do that. It is certainly a beautiful pen.

What wood did you use? It looks like ebony and maple.

Well if I could make such a beautifully pen -- practice, practice and practice!

Wow! Very coooool pen! I'm guilty just thinking about all the dirty words I'd mutter trying to glue that up!!! []

That is a standout pen!!![^]

Very nice! It's been on my list for a while, too. I'll be happy if mine turns out anywhere near as nice once I get around to it.

[doddman70]

Thanks to all for your comments. The woods are ebony and maple. I actually have made attempts at this with 3 different techniques. Will consider a tutorial when I have at least one of them perfected. I will say that my technique does not lend itself to making a profit. Took about 10 days to make the blank and that was after figuring out how to do it. With all the early failed experiments and mock-ups, I probably have more than 30 hours in this but the techniques could lend themselves to some interesting designs. More to come...

Nicely Done Bruce.

I agree, having done a couple simular designs myself, it is definitely a labor of love and not a profit making venture.

Keep up the good work...

Hey, Bruce, fantastic pen.

BTW, are we any closer to seeing that tutorial describing how you did it?

I'd love to try a pen like that.

Wow 30 hours on the blank and I thought that the snakewood I've been working on the last 7 days was a lot (Avg about 30-45 min per day). Beautiful!!!!
