Herringbone Inlay Kit

[rsjimenez]

I received this kit from Constant on Monday. It takes a while to get started but once you get the hang of it, it is really cool how the pieces go together. It came out really nice. I will order some more soon.

Comments welcomed and Thank You for looking.

Looks great. Did you tape the pieces on as the instructions say? I have a few of the same kits as gifts for quilters. I've made only one and I absolutely could not hold the pieces on and tape at the same time. I ended up putting a dab of epoxy on the back of each piece and placing it on the barrel. After it was all together I "slathered" on thin CA. It came out very nice. Already gave it away and she is very happy.

I found it easier to use a bit of thick CA and accelerator over each piece.

Neat. I bet it's easier than doing it the other way!!

Nicely put together.

I have made some changes and added an extra piece that looks like a crown and will make it a lot easier to get started. It sure is easier than the other way but still a challenge.

Thanks for all the comments.

I used the 24ct Gold & Gun Metal from Timberbits.com

Elegant loking pen and the kit looks like a true match for the blank. I'll have to see if I can get a couple of these for the larger kits. Awesome

Ramon, Beautiful pen! I too like the contrasting colors of the pattern and it really looks good with the components you used. Thank you for showing. Doc
