Here are a couple pens I made today. The first is a European ballpoint made of Snakewood. I put a CA finish on it as I was afraid to heat it up with a friction polish finish. I have had some Snakewood crack in the past, so I wanted to avoid the heat.
The second pen is a platinum Baron rollerball made of Amboyna Burl with Blackwood inlays. This is my pen for the Pen Maker's Guild pen swap. It is a new inlay pattern for me. I'm not thrilled with it because I like the shapes with sharper edges better. I do like the way the Blackwood inlays look with the black accents of the kit though.
