Assuming you meant kit. It's a Knurl GT.Beautiful pen.... What type of kid is that?
Mal you pretty much nailed it. The only thing you need to pay attention to is to measure the length you need, for any given pen, is to measure each side of the center of the glued up blank. Otherwise you won't end up with the same width stripes.@KenB259
Interesting design, Ken !! . Very attractive.
I wonder if this is how you made it .... let me know !
You cut a slot on each of the 4 sides of an accurately squared blank ... from corner to opposite corner on each side.
Then you glued the triple-veneer inlay into each slot. . Then you rounded and added the end caps. .
Would that be right ?
I submitted a similarly-designed pen to the BASH two or three years ago. .
I wonder if the pics would still be on IAP ....

I like that Mal. The thin red pieces are a nice touch. I have never seen those pen "components" before.@KenB259

EDIT:
I think this is it .... thanks to a very helpful member (who shall go unnamed) for assisting with location of the photos.

Looks great! The different woods work very well together. Amazing finish!Chrome Knurl GT. Woods are goncola alves, purpleheart and holly. End caps are some leftover maple burl pieces dyed purple. View attachment 307449View attachment 307451View attachment 307452
