Dad it looks real good. I know what you went through to get there. Now you got another one crossed off your list, what is next? 
:biggrin: Maybe a little kitless fun?

I think Mike needs to start charging you for your tutorials. AND then I think you need to pay attention to what he says.... what do you need the mandrels for if you are talking "KITLESS" like he said? :wink:
Ok you know I am teasing you Dad - the pen is very nice - Knot looks really good and you really did SELF-TEACH with only a minor
. I'm super proud :biggrin:.

Wow !! Mike is either a very good teacher or you're a very good listener!! Most people struggle to get a 4 sided knot looking good and here you and Mike make 6 sided ones look like child's play!!
Now....if we could all just get our kids to listen to us like we listen to them, then we'd have peace in the land:biggrin:
Besides being perfectly done, I really like the colour como in that inlay material

Joe, Mike has taught you well, in the words of a good friend NPGJ.....Now I'll need to watch out for lightning. Some will know what I mean.

Your knot rocks!
I wish I could do stuff like that.
I'm still trying to figure out how to make your own closed end mandrels from the recent posting....I have to see things done in order to do it myself
I loved your rebuttal about the mandrel an going kitless!
That was my morning laugh.... LOL
"Kittles & Whittle" I LOVE IT!!!!!

I don't know why, but this just reminded me of the very old joke of the two guys in a boat and fishing. One of them is swearing like mad each time he misses a bite...... 'Damn !!! I missed !!'.....the guy screams. His good buddy tells him to stop swearing or he'll get struck by lightning.
Couple misses later, there's this almighty flash and bang and the good guy gets fried.
Then you hear this deep voice from above....
'Damn!!! I missed!!!

Hi Joe,
This is very cool -- very nicely done...!
Is the lighter material antler? And looking at the darker wood slices, there is a thin layer of bright metal on each side. There is a bit of color between the metal and antler -- is that another layer of something, or the glue? Whatever, it looks really good.
Congrats on a very desirable pen...!
Cheers
