Ark of the Covenant Pen

I bought some shittim wood grown in the Sinai desert 8 months ago. Shittim means acacia in Hebrew and is the wood that the Ark of the Covenant was made from.

My plan was to somehow portray the Ark of the Covenant in a pen.

Here's the description of the Ark of the Covenant in the Bible.

Exodus 25

10 "They shall make an ark of acacia wood.
11 You shall overlay it with pure gold, inside and outside shall you overlay it, and you shall make on it a molding of gold around it.
12 You shall cast four rings of gold for it and put them on its four feet, two rings on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.
17 "You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold.
18 And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of hammered work shall you make them, on the two ends of the mercy seat.
19 Make one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end.
20 The cherubim shall spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings,

The pen kit is a gold Atrax rollerball.

The 4 slices of brass, 2 at each end, represent the 4 gold rings. The Atrax gold bands at each end represent the cherubs and the light colored wood (Holly oak) the wings.

This is a Rockler magnetic refrigerator pen in Gold. I have added new tubes for about a 1/2" gain in length, brass inlays, and white pic guard segments on the ends and middle. PR blank is sanded and finished with One-Step Plastic Polish. Jim S
