First Single Cross lamination

[gerryr]

After wrecking the first one, although I learned a fair amount by doing that, I made my first single cross lamination. A Jr. Gentleman's rollerball in Amboyna Burl from Dario with Ivory laminations. I got the ivory from an acquaintance who repairs pianos. This is from piano keys he repaired.

Comments welcome

Nice pen. I almost hate to say, it but you could have done without the ivory. I know, you had to try it.

Very nice pen. I love the contrast and crisp lines.

Thats some really nice amboyna burl. Good job.

 

[Dario]

Good job!

I can't comment on the amboyna, against my practice [] LOL. Nice to see some of the blanks I sold turning into pens...most buyers I think just hide them LOL.

Nice Looking.
Not to nit pick but that is a glue up, not a lamination.

 

[gerryr]

Eagle, is that what it's called? [B)] I've seen it called inlay and lamination and I knew inlay wasn't the right term. When I post the next one, pretty well designed in my head, I can call it by it's right name.

Inlay, lamination, something sandwiched in the middle of the wood or whatever it's called, it still looks good []

 

[Ron Mc]

Nicely done.

That is awesome burl[][][][] and the pen is beautiful. What's the difference, glue-up, laminated, inlaid, sandwiched!
