Laminated some Sierras

[YoYoSpin]

These click Sierras all have a piece of knife scale acrylic laminated into them...always trying for a different look:

Great work as always Ed.

Great work and pictures. Are all the pictures getting better lately or is my vision just getting better [?]

Hey Ed (loved your closed end pen DVD, by the way), what's the wood in the first one? The yellow one...also (forgive my ignorance), what the heck's a knife scale?

Milpaul, I've noticed the same thing, Photography, finishes, everything's improving a ton isn't it? Makes it hard to stand out anymore. Not that Yoyo's got anything to worry about. Look at those trademark beads! I get anything anywhere near that intricate, and "ssschchckkkkiiitt-fling!", off it goes...gah. Stupid lathe tools...yeah...that's it...the tools...[]

I might have to steal the border idea, though. It does add to the 'clean-ness' of the photo.

Very nice pens Ed. The stripe adds to an already nice blank.
The very last one, I have to say, is my favorite.
Great job as always!

I like the fine work in the turning Ed, but I find the band distracting from the pen, just my honest first thought[]

Ed, they are all excellent pens you have skilfully incorporated some subtle points of difference into them.[][][^][^]

 

[Mather323]

Very clean pens, outstands works on the design and beads![^]

Nice looking pens Ed. Wish I could do beads like that.

Lovely turning Ed, I don`t like the acrylic bands though, I think they take away an otherwise classy look.[]

Great job Ed!!

Very nice shapes Ed, so much so that i did one today[]
I think i agree with the others about the bands, they are just a bit to distracting for me.
