How it is made!

[OldWrangler]

Here is a pen made in a herringbone pattern of satinwood that I might like to try to copy but at least I would like to understand how it is made. Can anyone help? I don't have a clue where to start.
Thanks....http://www.graf-von-faber-castell.com/ called pen of the year.

The herringbone pattern is discussed at the very end of this tutorial.

I'm not sure that process would work for this pen. From the PO's picture, it looks like it may be a 360º herringbone.

I can't think of how to make that without either cutting 80 something strangely angled pieces, or turning the blanks whole first (drilled, but without tubes), lasering them into pieces, and gluing them back together around tubes (basically how I envision making the 'puzzle' pen).

Maybe we should ask the fella that did this pen? He posts later on that he was planning to do a tutorial?
