This by far is my most favorite pen to make. Not really hard to make but for some reason every time I see one it takes me back to the 60/70's. I even have one I bought at an antique store in Idaho several years back.
What we have here is a Designer Series pen from PSI done in Koa with an inlay of Milo. The story behind the wood is interesting. My customer in Hawaii buys cut offs from a mill that would normally throw these pieces of wood away. From what he sends me I make all of his bottle stoppers, bottle openers, comfort pens and about 6 other items. This pen came from a piece that was about 8" long and maybe 5" wide with the upper 1/3 being segmented. I used the bottom piece for his last order and salvaged what I could of the upper segmented piece. The last picture is what was left over which, I thought, was too small to make anything with. But I found that I could possibly get one pen out of it. This is that pen. The small pieces on the last picture were too small to do anything with but I haven't got the heart to throw it out (less than 1/2").
This is Gun Metal finish on the pen components. The segmented piece of wood was going to be paddles for a boat displayed in a resort lobby.
Thanks for looking.
