My father makes Tiki Faces out of various wood types so I thought Id try to turn one into a pen. Made this awhile back as an experiment. Cant say it was a successful experiment, but fun none the less. This is Made from Jatoba and Alt. Ivory. I made the Ivory sections as a back up to the original plan and after this was turned and tooled so It doesnt lets say, fit! It is a little smaller, not an illusion. Cut all face details with a dremel style tool and different engraving bits. Diamond sections made using a sorby micro spiraling tool. Ive been keeping this one in the dark for awhile, but thought I would share it. CA Finish, perhaps not the best choice, spray or dip would have worked better i do believe. This went out the door to him quick so I took very few photos, and unfortunately these are the best ones, likely why they havnt been posted! Thanks for looking!

Fun is what it's all about. And you are showing off a talent that not very many have. It looks good from here. Neat pen!

Pretty cool! Got to agree that a dip finish would have been better.
