Another Masterful Pen Seamus.
Fantastic White Braided Blank.
Superbly Cast and Adorned with the Spectacular "Sawn" Michigan State Silver Proof Tru-Quarter.
Together with the Beautiful Spartan Logo on the Cap, of the Complimenting Jnr. Aaron Hardware.
Incredible All Round Fit and Finish.

With the Obverse of the Silver Quarter, you have Completely "Thrown" me.
It appears that you have completely profiled all the necessary Graphic Engraved Elements of the Quarter, attached a Clear Backing to the Serrated Band, and Re-assembled all the Individual Components to their Original Position on the Clear Backing.
I don't know if I am correct, but Regardless "What an Incredible" Piece of Art.
I wouldn't like to guess "How Many Hours" you have invested in that Coin, or just how you could Maintain your Concentration for the period, let alone bear the Strain on your Eye's and Limbs.

I have been Privileged over the Years to see quite a few of your Creations. Now believe that you have Elevated Your Achievements, to yet a Greater Plateau.

Absolutely, Outstanding Craftsmanship.
Brian.

Outstanding!!!

Oh my gosh!! Seamus, you never cease to amaze me. That pen is beautiful.
The choice of fiber color, platform or components is outstanding.
What absolutely floors me is the scroll saw work. It is unreal. You have definitely reached a level of skill placing you in league of your own as a master pen maker.
Kind Regards,
Doc:smile:

Thank you so much Brian! The way I cut out this quarter compared to old is far more intricate. You know me, I'm never Happy with the bare minimum so I always attempt to take my cuts to the next level if possible. Plus, the silver proof coin makes it look much more attractive! It does take a little bit more time, but the end result is worth it

Even more intricate cutting than your first Michigan proof almost 6 years ago! You're not rusty, you're getting better.

Man, talk about a throw-back. I didnt realize that post was from 2011:eek: My techniques have sure improved since that pic. Now its time to venture away from the "kits" and start designing the entire pen from scratch! its in the works for sure!

Thank you kindly. Its handy being able to use the "tapatalk app" to post now. I find my time at my day job very time consuming and have less time now than i did in the past.

I was wondering how you cut it out. Seriously? Done by hand with a scroll saw?? I thought for sure you had to have a laser or some fancy tool for that type of precision!

I use a Dremel scroll saw on full speed with a foot pedal.! I would love to have a laser do all of that work for me, would sure make the Mass production side of things easier!
