Nice pic. Is this a slimline w/o the CB? The pen looks nice I like the celtic knots.[]

 

[jahlg]

yes it is, i love bigger pens, so the cb is 3 pieces laminated together. it is one of my favorites.

Nice pen. I love the colours. How do you do the celtic knot? I see a lot doing that but haven't been able to figure it out on my own.[B)]

Thanks everyone!! Hey Oscar I learned to do them on here, basically you need to set up a sled for your table saw, to cut at a 45 deg. then laminate piece in flip 180 and cut next piece, laminate, flip 90 cut, lam. flip 180, cut, lam. then turn. Thats it in a nut shell.
Its really not as hard as it seems, just time consuming, and you need your pieces the same thickness as your saw blade. You can search on here for a tutorial. Thats where i learned

Nice pen. I love the colors and material used.

I think this is a tutorial on making this type of pen. Its called making a double cross pen. It shows the cutting jig used and each step. It does not however give the specifics on the jig. There are 24 pictures for this tutorial. It shows each one on a separate page so you will need to go from page to page. Hope it helps.

Man I am glad you put in this last link...I was having a dickens of a time trying to wrap my noodle around this concept...Now if I could just get the idea for the Center treatment...Did he make special bushings or did he only use one on each end?

Gorgeous pen! Is the white on this one also plastic stock like the Corian morning-after, or did you slice some thin white acrylic?
