Beech Inlaid Shop Pencil

[KDM]

5mm workshop clutch pencil in beech with an inlay of beech sandwiched between two layers of teak.

Never done an inlay before. When I grow up, I hope to do a Celtic knot.

Looks great! Keep on segmenting...the more you do it the better it gets. When I grow up, I want to be a kitless pen that I cannot figure out how I was done.

Your half way to the knot already, just one more cut. Jim S

Aye. Patience is a bit of an issue, though. Making a jig so the slice that I already inlaid lines up and making sure it all fits before the glue goes anywhere near it.

Making really good pens is 80% preparation and 80% turning.

(Actually, I think I'll make that my tagline.)

Looks good and has a nice fit. The inlay adds a nice touch.
