Very nice... I use to have a Jacobs when I was a youngster surfing in So Cal... monster board... 11' 6" ... so wide I could not get my arm around it to carry it, so used to drag it through the sand - wore the fin down quite a bit

very nice laurie.

is there a tutorial somewhere on inlaying patterns? are you just cutting out the area with an exacto when you turn it down or what?

a beauty!

What a beautiful pen!!! I love the wood and that Celtic ring! Kirk[8D]

Laurie,
That pen is beautiful. I love the wood!!!

If you want all the portions of the knot to be lined up at the end, make sure that your "fill" is the same thickness as your saw kerf. If the fill is smaller, the first inlay will get shorter and short as you do the others; if the fill is bigger, the first inlay will get longer and longer.

I agree- I'd LOVE to see a tutorial on how to do the inlays such as this - I can somewhat visualize how you make them, but I'd love a little help. I'd love to do some pens with inlays like that, as well as fishing rod reelseats and handles (I'm a custom rodbuilder primarily)...

That looks just plain wonderful Laurie. You just keep getting better.

Did anybody ever locate a tutorial for how to do this?

Laurie, Care to kind of lay it out for us? Just in words, you don't have to draw it or make photos or anything. All us noobs would surely appreciate it.
