Tim,
Congrats on the pen and the home page photo. You have set the bar high for us to follow. New to turning, I am amazed at the level of talent found on this site. You Sir, with the scallops, knife concept, and now this; truly amazing!! Thank you for sharing your talent and giving incite to your processes. If I may, I heard talk about a black pen to match. Wouldn't it be really cool to completely reverse the scheme with black and brass with corresponding hardware? Just an idea, but I'm sure you will do it justice no matter how you do it. Congrats again on your success shipmate!!
