Nothing too spectacular except it is a first for me. I've never put a band of metal in a pen. I'm making a stainless steel knife with desert Ironwood that has black liners. So, I made a pen to match--desert Ironwood, black liner, and stainless steel band.

Very nice !!!! . Thank you for posting ! . I never would have thought of putting a band on a short blank like the 30 Cal Bolt Action . Another thing goes on my to-do list.

Thank you for the comments.

Woodchipper,
I'll post pictures of the knife tomorrow in the " other things we make" forum.

You did a great job matching the metal band to the pen kit components. I know from experience that this isn't easy to do. :)

Looks great on the front page, Mike. :biggrin:

I don't believe I've ever put a multi-view photo on the front page, but the pen and photo are so nice, I couldn't resist.

Great job on the pen, and fantastic photography. Curious, what' the background under the pen? I love the dark with the subtle highlights you got from the shiny sections of the pen.

Thanks. The background is just a speckled grey poster board from hobby lobby.
