Texas Trinity

[alamocdc]

Spalted Pecan, Mesquite and Texas Ebony glue up on 8mm Designer (Parker refill). This is part of a 30 pen Christmas order for a dentist in Texas. She wanted all native Texas woods. I didn't feel like just doin all 30 pens in either of the three woods, so I'm breaking up the monotony by doing a few of these as well. They will all be laser engraved.

And another view of the same pen so you can see the other woods in the lower barrel.

Sorry about the wash out. It seems I always get that when I don't use one of my pen rests and I can't figure out why. All the settings are the same. You get the general idea anyway.

Billy,

You are getting the hang of it.

By the way...I do have more spalted Pecan...not the red spalt but if you are interested, I can email you some pics. []

I like that one better than the first.
Do you mind if I do a variation on it?
BTW the Cherry walnut one I told you I was working on was a dud.
Try a 3 wood spiral segment for your customer.

Well done Billy, I like the look of it![]

Nice I am not a big lamination fan but some thing about this apeals to me.

Thanks, guys! Don't mind at all, Eagle. I've done variations of yours. [] Dario, send me the pics, please. I might just be interested.

That is great Billy, what a nice looking pen. I wish I could get some seg pens to work out like that.

 

[jvsank]

Another great looking pen.

Thanks again, all! Anthony, I almost had a stroke when she placed the order. I just couldn't believe it. They are to be gifts for other area dentists and doctors, so I have to make sure and do my best work. Might lead to future sales. []

Alan, just keep practicing. Only yesterday I had to turn a Cherry w/Walnut inlay off the tubes because it didn't turn out right. Sometimes you get it right, sometimes you don't. When you find a technique that works, you'll remember it. []

That is a really good idea. Maybe I can come up with an Ohio Trinity!!!

It is a surprisingly nice combination. If it weren't for the clients requests of wood this attractive combination probably would have never happened. Nice work.
