Here is a simple idea for making round dot inlays in your pens.
Buy some silver or brass tubes of different diameters.
Mix up some epoxy and add white or black powder (or any color) and place it into a syringe.
Place the syringe at one end of the tube and inject the colored epoxy until it come out the other end. It will fill the tube solid.
Find a drill bit that makes a hole so the Silver or Brass tube fits into it snugly.
Drill some holes in your pen blank.
Place some CA in the hole then insert the tube.
Hit it with some CA accelerator.
Cut the tube flush with the blank using a razor saw.
Do it again and again.
Turn the pen and you will have metallic circles with colored dots.
Here is a photo of a pool cue I made using that method.
Go crazy ... have some fun ... and please post some photos.
