PSI Celtic Pen in Ancient Bog Oak with aluminum and basswood Celtic knot inlay. This is my first attempt at a Celtic knot, cut by hand on a miter box with a blank that was not square!. I learned a lot. I didn't want a glossy CA finish, I wanted a more natural finish, so I did BLO and CA with a wax topcoat. Thanks for looking.
And Now Ladies and Gentlemen, Children of All Ages!
IN FIRST PLACE
Pen number 5 in the polls
First Place wins $125.00 worth of MajK blanks .

Hello everybody! My name's Misha Stepenko. I'm 16. I study and live in Ukraine. I've made pens not so long, about two months. It's my tenth pen. I'm using my grandfather's woodworking machine. He's former carpenter. This pen is made by simplest hardware: 7 millimeters "slimline". I took European oak and maple. I chosen chess style because it's very modern and popular today. My wooden pen has got elegant and convenient form for writing. I've got many creative ideas and I promise to show you! Thank you for your attention.
Congratulations to all of you that entered and especially to our great winners!
