Took advantage of my neighbor trimming up his Holly tree several months ago. He has Irish descent so made him a Celtic knot pen.

This is a PSI Gatsby Grande in chrome. The knot is Levi's denim, with walnut veneer sandwiched between. Did a 1,3,2,4 pattern. The Holly turns very nice and finishes easily with CA. Always trying to perfect my knot technique. I've had some clunkers! Very pleased with this one. Thanks for looking.

Well done, Mike. The denim and walnut contrast each other quite nicely and both provide contrast to the holly. I've never turned holly, but it looks good, could almost pass for ivory. Thanks for sharing.
