Dressed in bloodwood with brass inlays. My first try at a lacquer finish.

Keith supper job, dose the cap line up on all 6 sides. The pen looks like something Eagle made a few years ago. I think he called it Simwave

Keith....VERY impressive. How thick was your blank of bloodwood before you started to cut it up to inlay the brass? Also, what size scroll saw blade did you use to cut the blank?

Roy, the blank was a standard 3/4" by 3/4". I use a <s># 2</s> # 1 scrollsaw blade which is <s>0.010"</s> 0.012" thick, the same thickness as the <s>30</s> 29 gauge brass sheet.
I buy my blades from Mike's Workshop and used the <s>FD-P No. 2/0</s> FD-P No. 1
