Egyptian Motif

[Paul Russell]

Here is an Egyptian motif pen I made. I got the idea from one I saw in the Pen Turners Guild. After trying unsuccessfully to contact the original designer, I constructed it myself.

The kit is a CSUSA Americana Classic. The top was replaced with a "O" brass tube. covered with ebony and reconstituted ivory. The body is Cedar of Lebanon, copper, ebony, ivory, ebony, copper, and Cedar of Lebanon.

It has garnered some good reviews and I hope to pitch it to the local Egyptian Society soon.

Nicely done. I think the "hat" comes in a little too narrow for my taste but I know nothing about Egyptian motifs so I may be all washed up. Good work.

Great idea and great work.

Interesting design Paul. The location of the clip should allow the "hat" to stand above the shirt pocket and attract a lot of attention.
