Very unique & creative. That is the fanciest chalk holder that I have ever seen.

Excellent Item, Mik,
I love the fragmented edge you have created with the Crinkle Aluminium, and Watch Parts, Looks Spectacular, you should include that Technique in some Pen Blanks, if you haven't already.
Great work as usual.
Good to see you haven't forsaken you Leather Work.
Congratulations, and Regards.
Brian.

Nice!!!

Good study in contrasts between this style and those made by Farmer. Both are excellent craftwork, and very different.

 

[junosdad]

That's super cool.

I like how you seamlessly blended the tape and watch gears with the burl edge. Instead of a hard line to distinguish the two, you made it more organic and it flows so well between the two materials. Great chalk holder!

Thanks Guys
the burl edge used on this was Brown Mallee, these burls are usually pretty prickly which is what gives it the rough look

Brian i have done a number of pens with this combination, i have added a couple of pickies of the pens below

all the best
