New Twist on Celtic Pen

[JohnU]

I've been spending a lot of time the past couple weeks pouring resin and had a little time tonight, while waiting for the Silmar to warm up, to turn this pen. It was nice to get a little lathe time. The pen is the Celtic kit with one of my new Cardistry blanks. I thought the two worked well together and my wife was happy to get a new pen. lol
All comments welcome. thanks!

I give you credit for the photography! The blank as displayed is excellent, with a clear image.

I suspect the colors are subtle, so the photo is great.

Wonderful pattern and perfect alignment.

About time Wifey got a nice pen...

Love the combination.

Nice pen and an amazing blank!

Somehow I sense some Irish influence !

That notwithstanding, it is a beautiful pen, John, and a real expression of your craftsmanship !!

Beautiful work.

GREAT continuity between the cardistry blank (a very interesting design--vintage??) and the Celtic-looking hardware.

Well done, John!!!

John, your wife was happy, anyone in their right mind would be happy to have a pen that looks as outstanding as this one does. It's amazing!

That's the coolest Celtic pen I've ever seen, very nicely done!

Thanks for all the comments!

Surprisingly these are not vintage. They were a special deck produced from custom designed hand drawn artwork. They just seemed to fit the celtic pen theme.

My wife is always happy to get a new pen. lol

Here's the back side. Most cards are made in a mirror image of themselves down the middle so they meet up against themselves when measured equally. This one is a little off, which is why I turned it.

Wow John !! That is far more accurate than I would have guessed. Well done sir !!:wink:
