This is my first foray into carving.

Thoughts?

A beautiful pen Brian. The design would look nice on the red ebonite too.

Very Cool. Standard carving tools or did you use a power carver?

Outstanding pen, great work.

Beautiful! Be even better with the leaf in another color but the pen still black..just to twist your brain!

Burrs with a dental rotary tool.

Thanks!

I'm normally not a big fan of engraving but I think that looks great. So many engraved pens are a light pen with a dark engraving on it, it's nice to see a dark on dark. Looks very good!

WoW that is nice. If you can do that good, first attempt , with a dental tool, give me more confidence in the dentist. Are you a dentist?

 

[Rarest wood]

yes I really like this pen less is more in my book without all the flim flam.
ebonite rocks too excellent just got some and I cant wait to make some pens!

Thanks everyone.

//How does it feel to hold?//

Very very light, at 18 grams. But it's a nice contrast to feel the smooth parts and textured parts.

Wow, that is beautiful. Thank you for the inspiration! Why are there only 24 hours in a day, so much to do.

 

[desertyellow]

Great concept.

 

[texasfootball21]

Anyone know of any tutorials on making pens like this?

 

[bitshird]

Beautiful work Brian, you turn out some awesome work.

Brian,
Once again, an elegant execution. I bet most everyone does the knock on the head and says" why didnt I think of that?"

 

[leehljp]

Beautiful work. I am putting a copy of this link into my database for quick access. This is the kind of pen that deserves to be in a "Best of" forum (which this forum does not have :frown - from which people can access quickly rather than being hidden on this list after 3 days!

Beautiful work Brian, the leaf looks excellent and it blends in nicely!
