Ebony and Holly Zoot Suit Pen

[Jason Swanson]

Here it is folks! The Zoot Suit Pen made from Gabon Ebony and Holly. It is a Woodcraft Navigator Kit with a CA finish. I would've gotten this pen turned last week when I glued the blanks but I've been quite busy with other projects. I finally got a chance to turn this last night around 2AM. Comments / critiques always welcome... Jason

I bet Derek Jeter would like that one. Very nice pen and I really like how you lined up the stripes.

Really excellent! Now what the heck are you doing handling sharp tools and a machine spinning at 1500 rpm at 2 in the morning???

Beautiful job. I have always had issues with Ebony cracking over time. Keeping my fingers crossed that it does not happen with this one.

Jason ... I will also add my 0.02 worth of praise on your pen stripping. Excellent job! :wink:

Thanks everyone for the comments! I sure wish I had a cheaper source for Ebony - the stuff is quite expensive. I'm currently working on a few more Ebony and Holly glue-ups and will post pics of them as I get them done... Jason

Beautiful pen !!! I made a pen from one of your Stripe Tease blanks from Exotic Blanks and it came out great. You are truly a gifted craftsman.

That's a very nice looking pen. Talk about a "sharp dressed" pen!
