On another thread titled teaser I showed a couple of pictures of a blank I was working on with an inlay.
The last picture showed it wrapped in string to reinforce it while I drilled it.

I didn't get any measurements off the blank before I wrapped it and had to turn off the string this morning.
I almost had a heart attack!
The is what was revealed when I turned off the string and CA.
It has taken me all day to recover.
I took this picture before I drilled it.

Freakin A man! That's amazing! Turned out much better than you described it!

Kinda reminds me of 'The Scream'.

That is beautiful Eagle, beautiful! You have a great "eye" for how things are going to turn out. Your imagination, vision and creativity are super! Do you want to mass produce these blanks? [;)]

Eagle,

That is absolutely amazing. You have outdone yourself.

Although miracle might be an understatement. I want to know how you went from this:

To this:

Looking forward to seeing the pen.

Eagle,
I just finished going through my Roget's Thesaurus and still can't find the proper word to describe your work of art!!!!
Just an absolutely amazing piece of art work and craftsmanship!!!

Eagle, I've been following your thread teasing everyone as to what you're next masterpiece would be. You have far exceeded my expectations (and they are very high) It reminds me of a few pieces by Edvark Munch in the layering effect in the sky background. Awesome, I really hope it survives the drilling and final turning.

There were two blanks pictured in one of the teaser posts.
What's in the other one?

You think I was able to get the first inlay in there on the first try?
It turned into kindling,that is what makes this so MAJIKAL.
A miracle even.
Regardless what anyone may think.I have more failures than successes.
I just don't show the failures.[^]

Look Eagle... if your successes are this good, then your failures must still be fantastic!

Stop burning them and make them available to someone to turn [}:)][;)]

If we all don't fail some of the time the sucesses wouldn't be as great. I see failure as a stepping stone to greater sucess.

I know this design is a passion of yours, the result I am sure has left you with a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment, well done!

I am a spiritual rather than religous person.
Being an alcoholic, I have already been to hell.Religon are for those who don't want to go there.
AS for the design.
It is not that I have a passion for it.Right angles are pleasing to the eye.
There is no pattern for the rest of it, it is just what I feel like doing.
Some can "paint with a brush"
I wondered if this was something that could be done with wood.

wood working is an entertainment center, or a dininroom table.
This is PAINTarsia.
Not to be confused with PENtarsia.
To a trained eye they are enitrely different.[:D]

I'm beginning to understand where you were heading!!

A picture is worth about a million words in this case.

OUTSTANDING!!!

Congratulations, Buddy!!!
