Stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!​

 

[DCBluesman]

Wow! (Now, what's with the crappy nib?)

 

[stoneman]

Very nice. Great idea.

 

[bitshird]

That is awesome, it looks like the old Gibson inlays, Fantastic work Bruce.

 

[johnnycnc]

Bruce, you have made a masterpiece my friend!
That is awesome work!!
I enjoy the older inlays on the fine instruments and you have
done the concept very proud.

That's very nice Bruce! Classic Louis XIV. I have tons of old patterns like that. did you make a paint template, or is it a sticker applique? I've taken a couple of the old lost Renaissance marquetry works and re-vamped them into intarsias. I'm not big on the flower pots, but love the curling scroll designs.

Thanks but neither. Its a PR inlay, cut out with the Bruce wizard and filled. Scroll that!

Very Nice Bruce, whats a Bruce Wizzard?

 

[workinforwood]

That a scroll saw vs laser/cnc router challenge? We have a challenge coming up soon, but that would be a great challenge I'd be up for down the road some time! That fancy equipment will be heading to the furnace.:smile-big:

 

[hewunch]

That is AWESOME!

[mbroberg]

[Jgrden]

[rjwolfe3]

HTF do you do this??????

Very carefully!!

(Ask Neil for a tutorial!):biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

 

[mickr]

I am in awe of your skills and patience

 

[skiprat]

Hells Bells Bruce!!!! You certainly have mastered your little toy, thats for sure:biggrin:

You should stick one of your silver clips on it:wink:

 

[KenV]

I think I see 4 axis milling, likely CNC as the "Bruce Wizard" -- those are awsome amounts of work to get programmed. And used to great effect!!!

I appreciate the details!!!

 

[Gary Max]

Outstanding Craftsmanship

 

[VisExp]

That is an amazing looking pen Bruce. Well done. I'm really impressed with the detail you are able to achieve with the Bruce wizard.

Scroll that!

LOL. :biggrin:

That a scroll saw vs laser/cnc router challenge?

Jeff, you're awesome with the scroll saw, but I think this is one challenge you won't win :wink:

 

[workinforwood]

Bruce have a pattern he can send me, or do I have to trace the monitor with his permission of course.

 

[BRobbins629]

Thanks to all for your comments.


KenV - you got it right. A little DIY project that got out of hand, but now my favorite tool.

Jeff - Graphic I used on the way

Don't do that. Mistakes can happen.

The White-Out is hard to get off the monitor. DAMHIKT

Very Nice Bruce, whats a Bruce Wizzard?

The CNC is a misdirection. The real wizard is Bruce! :tongue::wink:

 

[PR_Princess]

Jeff, you're awesome with the scroll saw, but I think this is one challenge you won't win :wink:

As much as I would like to see, this I have to agree with Keith.
I have had the pleasure of seeing some of Bruce's work up first hand and up close. The workmanship and fine details are awe inspiring!!

Bruce and his little wizard really can make magic happen! :smile-big::smile-big: :worship::worship:

Too much info there!!!! Family site and all:biggrin::biggrin:

 

[cnirenberg]

Bruce,
That is one coooool pen.

 

[Ligget]

Absolutely beautiful Bruce, amazing detail!

 

[workinforwood]

You have to snag the pen photo, then reduce the size on your computer so that the actual scrollwork is basically 1/2" wide. If you do that, then you'll really be amazed! It's very impressive even for a CNC to cut that out.

 

[Glenn McCullough]

Go get 'em,Lou!! Nice pen!

Wow! (Now, what's with the crappy nib?)

 

[johncrane]

Great looking pen well done Bruce!
