Here is my latest pen made with

Purple Heart
Black Ash Burl
Jr. Gent 2 Fountain Gold Plating

The scallops on this pen were made larger than what I have been making them. Hope you like it.

Very nice. Do you have any pictures of the blank before turning?

 

[mikespenturningz]

Not of that one but I will take an image of another before I turn it.

Another excellent pen! Your wood combinations are always so spot on. I think that is an under recognized factor in the mix of making an excellent pen.

Another home run mike.

As always, very nice. Honestly, the only thing that bugs me is that the scallops don't line up. I guess I'm not the one to preach to you because I didn't do any like that......yet.:biggrin:

I think I may have messed up on this one and made 2 different sized scallops that is why it is off so much. The rest is because of the way it is made and nothing can be done about that. It isn't a mess up it is just the process.

Another winner. And ChrisN, what you are seeing is a segment within a scallop. That's so much beyond a standard scallop. It's not that the scallops don't line up. I'm still trying to figure those out.

I love the inset scallop - Still thinking about how you accomplished this!!!
