Would it be possible to take that section apart and either Skew and burn a line with wire or experiment with some ca an possibly ebony saw dust or a powder as an inlay?
Don't misunderstand, the splice looks good ,but as you pointed out its visible,an accent line there would "break" on the splice line and make the seam more pronounced but less noticeable.
Just a thought.
No matter what it's a beautiful pen.
Thanks for your comment,
I actually thought of using a brass washer as a band to define the part line, I was going to turn it down glued up in the blank assembly, but I jut took a chance...I have never done inlay, the figure is busy so a clean line might have been the way to go...good points!!
Every time I do an oops band ,to me it sticks out like a sore thu,b.
In this case there is no Opps band.
I just fugred if you can't hide a flaw,show it off.
It would give the appearance that is how you glued it up to begin with.
Perhaps my term of "inlay" was the wrong useage.
What I envisioned was to skew a groove and add ebon;y or some kind of saw dust or powder in the recess.Seal with CA and let cure.
sand flush and refinish.
Now you got me thinking about doing it on purpose,or did I get methinking that?
