Beads and more beads...

[YoYoSpin]

This cigar kit has a little tactile hand-hold built into the dyed and stabilized Poplar body.

And here's one in Padauk:

Fascinating shapes, Ed. Beautiful as always!

I like them Ed. They may be be a little too beady for me.

 

[Fleabit]

Nice workmanship! What tool did you use on the bead work? They came out very sharp.

 

[Tom McMillan]

Great looking pens Ed!!!

 

[YoYoSpin]

A sharp pointed skew will do the trick...

 

[woodscavenger]

Is that cross cut paduak? If so, then all I have to say is U-DA-MAN! Those tools of yours must be surgically sharp.

You are once again demonstrating a degree of talent that leaves the rest of us wondering: will we ever get that good? The pens are beautiful, Ed.

 

[JimGo]

[YoYoSpin]

Excellent pens. I like the design, reminds me of comfort grips. I really like the wood.

Ed,

That's the prettiest padauk I've ever seen. Is that stabilized, and did you finish it with the Beall system?

 

[GregD]

Excellent pens. I like the design

 

[YoYoSpin]

Tom,

Thanks...That's just plain ol' Padauk (crosscut), purchased at my local Woodcraft for about $3.50 a board foot. The finish is a Beall buff followed by two coats of R-wax and then more buffing.

Fantastic Ed, that curly popular looks like a resin.
Very nice design on the hand hold.
