What I am looking for is someone that makes blanks.
My Grandson likes the color black and red.
I have not found anything like that in wood. I know I could take some African black and Paduak and make something maybe but my bandsaw is down right now.
So if anyone one has a couple of blanks that is mostly black with a few lines of Red and you want to sell them please contact me with price.
Probably make him a slimline pen since he is only 10 years old and probably wouldnt want a cigar pen.

Contact JohnU - I believe he does custom work.

Does it have to be wood? Lots of black and red acrylics around, or custom cast in PR.

I'm happy to laminate some bloodwood/Blackwood up for you as needed.

PM if you're still interested.

They're in the mail... I liked the pattern enough that I thought I would even make one myself.

Mike,
You should add that tutorial to the IAP list. Great job. That is one cool looking pen.
