Beautiful work Lou. I like the way the gold in the center accents the barrels.

As always super, now a snifter of Cognac, a smoking jacket a cuban and life would be grand....

Lou,

Another of your great looking pens. I love the look of that blank.

Thought I would give you an enhancement there pal.

That's a beautiful looking pen Lou!

What material is the main body of the pen? The color combination is exquisite.

Lou, do you carve the leaf pattern then paint or do you just paint,I remember the one in Alt. Ivory you said it was painted with Acrylic, that design is beautiful.

 

[toolcrazy]

Classy and gorgeous

 

[dkarcher]

Nice pen! I know you use paint on your designs but this one looks like it's embossed in the pin. Is it inlay or acrylic paint?

 

[PR_Princess]

Very nice, Lou. I echo the statement on the color combo.

 

[BRobbins629]

Nice pattern, steady hand and within the lines. Not bad for an old man.

Thank you for all of the kind words. The barrels are ancient kauri and the fill is dark brown acrylic paint.

I really admire the intricacy of the carvings. I think they really flow together. Wish I could hold it to get the feel of it.

 

[Darley]

Very nice Lou, did you paint it or carve in? hopefuly you use Callebaut chocolate
