DOVE TAIL PEN

[dancrafted]

This is a work in process. But the design is way kwell. Well at least I like it. Joints need to be a bit tighter. Need to tweek the jig I'm using to make them. Let me know what you think.

Now there's an idea I haven't seen before! I like it, Daniel. All I need is a dovetail jig...and I've got plans for one of those! []

Now that is a real interesting effect... the only problem I could see is if the drill wanders while drilling the blank... but as long as you get a nice straight hole it should look real cool... especially with extremely different colored woods... MMMMM like wenge dovetailed to curly maple... or bloodwood and holly

Very u-neek, why tweek more? You have joined the club of creative thinkers.

Very cool Daniel, now I would like to meet the guy that can pull that apart!
Very nice pen.

 

[swm6500]

Great looking pen Daniel, I thought that would make a neat looking pen but have not been able to try it.

 

[JimGo]

Very well done Daniel!

 

[darbytee]

You beat me to my idea! It looks great. Nice use of contrasting woods.

 

[pastorbill1952]

Excellent design. Great craftsmanship.

 

[WoodChucker]

Very nice! Thanks for sharing.

 

[rtjw]

Thats using your noggin! Great pen.

 

[Tom McMillan]

Really good idea Daniel--I like it!! What woods did you use?

 

[penhead]

Neat idea..and your dovetails looks pretty nice already..must be an awful tiny tweek needed..[]

 

[Deere41h]

Dan...You came up with a really unique idea. The pen turned out very nice. It's fun to see new approaches. Thanks for sharing.

 

[woodpens]

Great idea, Dan! That's an excellent way to get outside the dots.

 

[Gary]

Great idea and very nice work!

 

[woodscavenger]

DARNIT! Why did you have to go and do that! Now I have to add dovetail jig/box joint jig to my list of wants. [!]

Everytime I think my tool crib is full somebody up and does something like this and throws me for a loop.

I wonder how cool that would look cut on a 30 degree bias......?

 

[woodscavenger]

P.S. How much would you charge for a couple of those blanks?

 

[Paul in OKC]

Nice work. I did a straight finger jointed pen once, but this is much cooler looking. Keep it up.

I'm really impressed Dan. I have to give a demo this month at the Peoria Area Woodworkers on the incra jig. I wanted to make a double dovetail box to show them, now I'll make some double dovetail pens while I'm at it.

So spectacular!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bless you Daniel, now I actually have a defendable reason to go buy the dovetail jig I've always wanted. great idea.

 

[Linster]

Now that's pretty cool! What a perfect gift for a woodworker!

 

[jenamison]

Yea! Double Dovetail pens!

BTW That was a nice job on the single dovetail pen! It just goes to show you how diffrent lamination ideas can work out.

Great idea......I love it!!! Don't know if you did it on purpose or if it just worked out that way; but there is more of the light wood than the dark wood. I would like to see a pen made from a blank where the two woods were equally proportioned. A smaller/finer dovetail might also work a little better since a pen body is so small.

Great concept......looking forward to seeing some of the "tweaked" versions!!

 

[MDWine]

way cool... excellent!
