HOLY COW, THESE ARE GREAT!!

[Ted iin Michigan]

One of the members here (Terry Quiram - aka terry q) posted some pics of some laminated blanks he was working on. I thought they looked pretty cool and asked if he could make me some. I got 6 and am attaching pics of the first 2.

The first is bloodwood with maple striping

The second is maple with mahogany striping

And here's an "artsy" shot of both

Gotta say I think these are pretty cool. Looking forward to more styles.

Hey, Terry - is a tutorial coming out in the near future? Also - thanks for the "freebie". I think I have a nice Hancock picked out for that one.

Great Pens, Ted,
Incredible Blanks, Terry,
I just can't get my mind around what my eyes have seen.
I liken it to Escher's drawings,
You see it, it looks feasible, yet on closer examination, it really seems irrational.
Certainly a design I won't try to emulate.
Superb Fit and Finish,
Outstanding Craftsmanship.
Congratulations to you both.
Brian.

Is that the Artisan Click Pen? Confirm or correct that and I'll add it to the caption.

The long click is my favorite click pen and really shows off a nice blank like these!
Great job by both of you, Ted and Terry!

 

[Ted iin Michigan]

Jeff - yes, from CSUSA

Not to take anything away from the pens above, they are really great, but only to show that really it's been done before! Not by me, but by a great friend of mine.

My story tells all, at least I think it does!
