My buddy is a Bengals fan, so I did this up for his birthday. Both the blank and the inserts are bowling ball.

Very nice. Bowling ball is tough stuff! How'd you slice the darn ball up? I used to work in a bowling alley years and years ago as a teenager and one of my jobs was repairing dings in balls. Interesting knot too, looks 6 sided.

You did a great job on that pen! Evenly spaced and all look the same size too. I'd love that pen myself. I am a Bengals fan too. Wish they were doing better!

Jeff: I didn't cut the balls. Lee Valley Tools sells bowling ball blanks in a few colours. They are nice, because they are cylinders, not square. You're right; it is six sided.
Thanks Michael. I didn't know how they were doing this year, so I went on their web site. Not looking real good, are they.

Thanks much to you all. I did two of these at the same time, but I don't know that I will do many more. The 6-cut is a bit of a bitch. It was worse in bowling ball than in wood, and I thought the wood one that I did was a pain.

Great looking pen you've nial the halo thing. Color matching with the hardware and the red accent. Very nice indeed
