So... I haven't gotten alot of shop time lately. My wife and kids and I moved into another house a few months back. Before we got settled in good we found out that my Mom had cancer, so we went to Arkansas to be with her and dad. She passed away back in late April. I finally got a small dust collector, built a stand for my lathe and got my shop in somewhat of an order. Finished up a stars and stripes pen for a customer and now I have some ME time!!
I had this idea a while back and finally got bored enough to do it! I took about 15 different pieces of wood and cut them up into tiny pieces on my bandsaw. Then glued them together to make a very multi-colored herringbone. See, I have been doing something besides harassing Bock for nib prices...
Let's see, I can't even remember what all woods are in here. I know there is maple, african blackwood, ebony, lacewood, purple heart, yellow heart, red heart, cherry, walnut, zebra wood, cocobolo, bocote, some spalted something or other... and a few more.
Anyway, this will become a pen sooner or later!
