Stumbling literally in my blank room I spied this attractive Ebony blank so after breakfast today i spent a pleasant while playing my way (move over Frank Sinatra). Anyway here it is

When I was young, my dad gave me a jar of black and white humbug lollies, I thought they look beautiful! Until I wacked one in my gob!
This pen reminds me of that lollie mate!
Striking and beautifully turned. Thanks for sharing this picture with us.

That is a really nice looking pen; well turned, well finished, really nice blank.

Beautiful grain. Well done.

Beautiful wood. Excellent turn. Do you have any special tools to cut your designs or is this all free-hand? They look so perfect! Your tools/technique would be a great subject for a video.

The proportions of the color are spot on, precise, Excellent! And the design magnifies the beauty of the wood.

What tools do you use for the small flutes/rings? Do you use some mini tools for those? The small detailed curves looks finer than I can imagine with a normal skew or scraper.

Another beauty!

Nicely done! Really like how you carried the beads above and below the center band. That's an excellent touch!

A very striking pen. I do like the styling you use on this kit. It makes it look so much more elegant. Great work. Thanks for posting.

Yes I have an arsenal of chisels however I used only a small skew for donkeys yrs.
