I spent an enjoyable morning making a pen case just for the fun and challenge.The idea is not new but I adapted it for an Americana ball point. The body is from English Box with Bubinga finials. The most difficult part was lining the pen compartment with velvet.
The pen is from purple dyed stabilized BEB.
Comments always welcome.

That is very creative, Ian, I like it. There is a product in the states called Suede-Tex that would make the velvet lining easier to do. Basically, you 'paint' an area with the special adhesive and then sprinkle on the fibers. The result is a very professional looking velvet lining. Hopefully you can get Suede-Tex or something similar in the UK.

Ya know, Perry .... it's too bad you live just a little too far from Macon. Something tells me it would be a lot of fun putting our heads together and making a few of our own design. :D
 
I've seen something like that done for a long stem goblet. Great idea for a pen and you did an amazing job with it. It reminds me of a scroll rolled up, which is fitting considering the contents. Very nice work.
 
Jared, I can answer that as I had the pleasure of seeing it for real.:D
It's completely round, just like an ancient scroll. It's as silky smooth on the inside as it is on the outside. Beautifully made.

It does however not compare to Ian's other work. We had some very talented woodsmiths at our recent meet up and all where simply blown away by the incredible craftmanship that Ian has produced.[}:)]
 
Impressive.

That has got to be the best pen box that I have seen.


That's one to be proud of.
