Toni,
I really like her canes. She has some really detailed work. I'm looking forward to trying more of hers. I took and rolled out some black PC as thin as I could and wrapped the tube. Then I just sliced away at the cane which had black borders and played with some different ideas till I came up with this one. Then I rolled it on a flat surface to "set" all the pieces. I kept the bushings on both ends to make sure the design didn't push past the ends. I baked it in my PC oven let it cool and then turned it down a bit on the lathe and finished up by sanding. I had gaps between the pieces and filled that by applying many coats of medium ca. If you look in the picture you can see where a couple of the designs were sanded through and I had some pin holes left in the ca that I should have been a little more diligent on filling but this pen was a learning attempt and I'm happy with how it turned out. The wife loves it so I know I'll be making more and its safe to say I HAVE stepped over to the "Dark" side :biggrin:
