Been a while since I've posted a pen but this idea has been in the category of is it possible for a while. I've admired many of the basket illusion bowls and platters but it took a while to find what pattern might work on a pen. Think I found one. Blank was first turned proud of bushings, lines carved on my CNC with a .6mm bit (the smallest I had on hand), blank flooded with black acrylic paint, sanded to final diameter to leave just the lines black, and then painted pattern with acrylic paint using tooth pick. A little hard on the eyes, but a great time killer when bored during pandemic. Spray acrylic finish.
