Black and Bling

[dgscott]

This is Gaboon Ebony -- the blackest of woods -- sparkled up with Sterling silver stripes and nickel silver trim. Feels pretty good in the hand -- substantial without feeling like you're overloaded.

Thanks for looking!

Very nice, do the silver stripes go thru or are they inset in channels?

Love the pen Doug difficult to photograph black I know reminds me of the old days in B&W to get a colour pic we used cow gum on the blacks sepia toned for the skin tones and it was in the 70,s before colour took off.

You went to a lot of detail with this hand made kit and pen and it shows.

I thought you had moved from New Mexico mate.

Kind regards Peter.

Nice to hear from you Peter and thanks for the kind words-- we moved to Oregon last year to be close to the grandchildren. The air is certainly chunky down here at sea level!

Thanks! The silver is set into channels milled into the barrel.
