Musical Pen

[mikebpeters]

Hey guys, I'm guessing that what I have done has been done often in the past, but so far I haven't seen anybody else do this so I will share it here.

I put the treble clef musical notation clip on a 'staff' background that I burned into an olive piece. The bottom is roasted maple.

I like it! My daughter plays the upright bass - I should make her one with the bass clef - did you make the treble clef clip yourself? And if not, did you happen to notice if they had a bass clef available?

I bought the clip from PSI - I'd love a bass clef clip as I'm a bass player myself!

Upright or electric? My daughter is attending Colorado University on a full (tuition and fees) bass scholarship. I have two sons who play upright and electric.

I just play electric but i admire upright players

Just so my 'slow mind' understands....

The clip end has burnlines not segmenting? And I am not even gonna trying to guess what 'roasted maple' is?




I like the concept and the materials used!! Very cool and not something that is seen everyday!!! Well done!!!

Yes, the clip end is burnt. I put tiny notches with a parting chisel in, and then I held a piece of wire in the notches as I spun the piece at high speed so that the friction burnt the wood. I thought it would be a nice compliment to the roasted maple on the bottom.

Roasted wood is wood that is heated under pressure - not quite sure how hot or how much pressure, but the effects are most interesting.

It looks really pretty with the added burnt staff and the clef. Interesting design and concept. Well done!
