Herringbone, from the Guitar Collection...

[PenWorks]

Here are some new additions to the guitar collection, Herringbone.
My Bro's guitar shop next door, still brings in some good clientel.
So I made these to entice them somemore.[]
A Gentlemens pen in Kingwood & spruce top,
A modified Gent Jr. extra, extra long, Honduran Rosewood
with a PRS Maple top. Thanks for looking....

Very nice, Anthony! Is that an inlay on the purfling?

Lou, the herringbone was an inlay , unlike you, I am not about to glue all them pieces []

 

[woodscavenger]

How do you manage to do the inlay with them being so thin? BTX love it!

 

[Tom McMillan]

Great lookin pens Anthony---nice work!!

 

[pastorbill1952]

Outstanding pens and craftsmanship. I am interested in how you did that inlay.

 

[WoodChucker]

Anthony, those are really nice!

I purchase guitar bindings and purflings from Stewart-McDonald
www.stewmac.com they are available in a variety of widths, depths
and styles. I hand cut the slot and CA the prurfling. They are a little
sensative to turning, I snapped several caps in the process. [V]

Nice Job Anthony! NOw all we gotta do is a PRS Whale Blue on flame maple.
Been thinking about Gibson Les Paul Honey Burst. But I think my ideas are fast out growing my talents.

Ask and you shall recieve...here is a Blue Jean & Tiger Maple
PRS Private Stock. [] I love the Tiger Maple, but he allready
sold the Blue Jean one which I didn't care for. Enjoy the pics []

Personally I am merly replying to the topic, I don't even play the darn things, I'm an old stick man by trade [] And the last thing I would want to do is promote www.cavecreekguitar.com I mean he is just my brother[] which I only have one of, and come to think of it...he owes me money and I might just go in there and cut up a few guitars and share them with IAP members for pen blanks...[]

Nice job as always Anthony...and if for some reason some of your brothers guitars end up as pen blanks.......kinda cool if some showed up in NC []

 

[darbytee]

Anthony, I thought we agreed that you weren't going to tempt me with any more PRS pictures.[] Beautiful pens and great job on the inlay.

 

[swm6500]

Nice work on the pens Anthony. I am putting in my request for some of the blanks when you cut up the guitars.[8D]

 

[rtgleck]

Anthony, those are some great looking pens. I like the inlay. Excellent work man.

 

[woodscavenger]

Good one Sam! ROFLOL!

 

[JayBirde]

Nice work as usual Anthony. Don't give my wife any ideas about cutting up my guitars, though []

 

[Gregory Huey]

Anthony
Ya just gotta keep that bar up there. Beautiful job as always.

 

[MDWine]

Anthony, I am a #1 NOOB!! how did you cut the channel for the inlay?
Did you do this while the blank was square? Could you give us a primer?
That is really beautiful!

 

[PenWorks]

Thanks for the comments...
Mike, I turned the barrel round, about a 1/8 oversize.
Then cut the slot with a coping saw to the brass tube.
I used a file to keep the slot square as well.
CA the purfling strip in and turn down.

raising the bar.
