Something From Exotic Blanks

[wolftat]

I bought some of the spalted maple stabilized blanks from Ed and Dawn and couldn't decide what color to use first so I tried 6 of them. This is the results. I finished it up with 8 coats of thin CA and then micromesh to 12000 and added a coat of Ren wax. The kit is a Zen.

Absolutely gorgeous pen Neil, great finish and pics! Watch out for the shine line being too evident so it doesn`t block out the veiwing of a great blank!

 

[Dalecamino]

Outstanding Neil ! Your Herringbone work is fantastic . Great looking pen and finish .

Dang, Neil, that's awesome. Can you come to Houston and show me how to use a bandsaw? I thought I knew how to use one until I saw some of your handi-work.

Sorry Neil, there was a recall just issued on that batch of blanks. Please send them back!




Awesome work!!

 

[ldb2000]

Fantastic pen Neil but the shine line in the photo is covering too much of the blank for me to see it well . Send it to me so I can get the full effect of the blank and finish in person

I promise I'll send it right back .... in a few years :biggrin:

I hate recalls. I'll get them back to you as soon as I can visit mars. :biggrin:


Thank you all, I enjoyed making this one.

 

[thewishman]

Beautiful pen! Gorgeous colors, great segmenting, perfect finish and very nice photos - you're a 4-tool penmaker.

I am actually making some that I plan to put up for sale.

Hope the recall won't set you back on this plan.

[wolftat]

Who would have thought that one pen like this could cause so many people to start thinking?

 

[Dalecamino]

Who would have thought that one pen like this could cause so many people to start thinking?

I wouldn't have thought it , and I'm not thinking . I know where to get 'em ! :biggrin:

 

[Rmartin]

The segmenting is excellent, but I'm curious about the pen parts. Is that a kit, or did you make that yourself?

uh oh, I just re-checked and see you did give the kit name, Zen.
