I blew out the end of a very nice DI burl blank for the top end of a Baron today, and decided that the pen would probably look nicer with a nice antler "accent band". My question would be, should I put it at the top, or in the middle of the pen?.

Decisions, decisions, decisions. :-)

This is just rounded up and rough sanded. I'll finish shaping and polishing after I figure out which end is up (if I ever do)

That would be different!!!

But, it could be good.[:D][:D]

I think we have now covered EVERY possibility, except putting it at an angle in the middle, making an accent diagonal stripe. (Good luck with THAT plan, after the tube is already glued in).[:(!][:(!][:(!]
 
Ok, here are the results.

option 1

Option 3 (this is SWMBA's choice, but of course she wanted pink ivory for the barrel)

What say the experts?
 
All 3 look alright but the center band seems a bit undersize from here. If that is the case I would use the third option.
Nice rescue there
