Okay, the box lid is still open a bit and one arm is sticking out.
This is a single piece slimline pen in Quilted Maple with a Chokte Viga stripe running from near the top to near the bottom. The stripe only wraps around about half the pen and is fairly thin (just over 1/8th inch wide).
DISCLAIMER: The design for a single piece slimline is courtesy of Dick Sing in his most recent book. It is not an original thought.
I wanted to accomplish 3 things with this pen.

- Try an extreme angle inlay similar to the compound angle inlays Eagle as been experimenting with. I only put 1 stripe in this pen but imagine I could go 1,2, or 4 without too much trouble.
- Try a kit variation - using a single kit. Dick Sing's idea of a one-piece slimline in which the tip is turned to extend the cartridge is pretty cool and not all that hard - except the drilling.
- Try out an idea for drilling a long pen blank from both ends without any noticeable alignment issues. I'll explain this after more practice.</ol id="1">
As before, your thoughts, questions, and critique are welcome.
Still using the digital video camera in "camera" mode, but this one came out a little better.
Thanks for taking a look.
