I'm new to pen turning but have been doing inlay like work with my scroll saw Here's a pen I did. I've been able to do monograms, the Christian Fish and a couple of logos.

Very nice!! I have thought about using my scroll saw to make some of my pens, but I need to practice a lot more to get as good of cuts as you did.
Have a great day

Sorry; but the picture is not good enough to tell us much about the pen. It is a little underexposed.

Seeing I just started turning pens a couple of weeks ago I haven't had any that I tought are good enough to put on my site, they are just now getting to look good. I'm also learning how to take a good picture of my work, any help here would be good. The whole idea was to show what could be done with a scroll saw, I think it opens up a new ballgame. I've been sawing for 25 years and this is a new challenge for me. The streamline pens as the logo of the high school my girls went to, I see some need to improve on the logo part it will take a few more to get it right.

Hi Scott,
Good Idea that, I have been wondering if scroll sawing (Fretwork as we call it in the UK) would work on pens by the look of yours, I must give it a try now.[

Nice work on your website too.[8D]

You are off to a good start! There are a lot of sharing, knowledgeable people on this forum. You can learn a lot here.
From the looks of those pens you may also be able to expand the knowledge of others also.

Great work. I still haven't figured out whether it's the scroll saw I have or me but it's a real fight for me to get through a 3/4" blank. How do you know when you have enough tension on the blade (pin style). For those who don't remember I have a yard sale Craftsman with no model number on it and therefor no manual!!

Not sure a "Pin" type would be a good choice for this type of inlaying.
You'll find that a "pin" type blade is very big when compared to a 2/0 blade.
And proper tension is normally a "C sharp" when you ping the blade. If tone deaf like me, it's a clear high pitch ping
