Another Pentel Conversion, this one in alternative ivory. Octagonal under the clip with a clip to match. Remainder of the barrel is round.

Don made more then 80 step drills available and there is mandrel with a step built in available so WHERE are all the conversion pencils????

I have the step drill and the mandrel. I even got some Pentel pencils from the office supply store. Now I just need to get a round tuit

That's a great looking pencil Chuck! Is that ebony veneer you used for the inlays?

 

[gwilki]

I missed out on the step drill buy. If anyone has an extra, and can take pity on a poor Canadian without a pencil, please let me know.

Too bad this is a PENCIL and can't be entered in the ALTERNATE IVORY PEN contest. Just another example of you at your finest.

Great looking conversion there Chuck Key. Still looking forward to trying out my conversion mandrel, can't decide if I want to custom order the step drill bit, or try the original multi bit method.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained, I say enter it in the Alt. Ivory contest, you never know.

 

[desertyellow]

Great work on that pencil.

The Corian issue was strike one, a (gasp) pencil is clearly a violation, strike two and I used sheet styleALT. IVORY which is strike three. Someone said it looks like New York Yankee pin stripes though

Otherwise, I am sure there is a refill around here that would fit.

John that`s by far the best pentel conversion posted so far, even if it`s not wood.lol

 

[Dalecamino]

Very nice work Chuck !

 

[Sfolivier]

I'm getting a step drill but totally miss any earlier mention of the mandrel... Any pointer? Thanks.

Looks great chuck. No doubt a ton of work involved in making and shaping that pencil.

Here is an alternate source for the step bit.

Yes, it was a ton of work but probably less work than Koko. Rather than try to hide the seams an alternative is to use them in the design of the pen. I believe this would work with Corian, Ivory, alternative ivory and other sheet materials.
