Maple Burl Cigar Pen with Picture Inlay / Redheart Border

[quill2pens]

I've been practicing creating pens with picture inlays using a rotary tool. The inlays are coated with resin for protection. Here's a natural maple burl cigar pen with an inlaid picture of the 1959 Canadian Avro Arrow jet fighter in the upper pen barrel. The picture has a redheart border. I've also inlaid a couple of alternative ivory dots in the lower pen barrel.

Nice pen! and the Arrow too. Shame what happened to her. That airplane had a lot of potential.
