[toyotaman]

I made this yesterday. It's a Maple Slimline with a little Cherry Inlay.It's finished with 8 coats of Med. CA and wet sanded to 12000 MM.

Your work "elevates" a Slimline design quite nicely. Well done. .............Jan

Is that a cherry inlay or segment? Also, what is the black?

Looks slick! I'm also curious about the grip lines. Are they wide burn lines, enamel, or some sort of inlay? I like them. They provide a good contrast without taking from the overall look of the pen.

Great work..

Looks great Nice and simple yet elegant. I do not know though. I am one of those symatry people. I think I would have liked it more if it had the same design on the top of the pen. If this was a 2 piece pen then maybe it would flow better but being a one piece and you always see the entire pen at all times. Just an opinion.

What I really like is that you took 2 woods that by themselves aren't all that exciting for a pen. (at least not around here) And you made a very interesting pen that most of us who like slimlines would be proud to have. How did you make those black lines? are they burn lines? They don't really look like it to me.

I guess it could be segmented. The blank was cut into and the Cherry was added. The Black lines are grooves I cut into the wood and burned in to provide a grip. I think it adds a nice touch.

Donny very nice slimline pen! I like the burn lines for the grip too!

 

[Ligget]

You made a simple Slimline look very elegant Donny!

Great looking slimline! A little segmenting can change the whole appearrance of a slimline.

Very nice pen. I like to see a not so abrupt change in dia at the center band area. I think it would look more pleasing. But that is just me. Carl
