3-Color Herringbone

[DurocShark]

This was a commissioned pencil (pen&pencil set). I'm happy with how the 3 colors came together.

Walnut, Maple, Padauk, med CA finish, Woodcraft Euro Pencil kit:

Yes, there's a lip on the tip. It was requested that way. I tried to talk him into a cigar kit or another thicker one, but he wanted the euro. :shrug:

Nice work, Don! :biggrin: Those colors work very well together. I wasn't sure I liked the size of the herringbone at first, but its grown on me since I've been looking at it. It strikes me as being a "warm" pen.

It looks good to me other than the lip on the tip part, But if that's the way he wants it, he gets it. Nice color pattern.

I kinda took it as a challenge to make it look decent. It's really only obvious from the side. I'll call it a success and see if I can make the pen to match now.

It's a beautiful pen Don, I'd be proud to own it. Love the colors and the shape.

Ditto on all the comments above. Great colors.

Don, you did good. The pen looks great. Nice tight joints and the colors go very well together.

Looks great and good job on not getting the Padauk to spread to the other woods--I always have trouble with that.
