Nicely done. I agree with Bruce, the stuff usually kills my tools too! Especially drills. I like the flared shape. Very classy.

It may be like painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa.....But I really do like it with the clip. But then again, I'm just on ole redneck.

SWEET, Super nice pen!!! Mama Cat says its fabulous too. She wants to know why I don't make "normal people pens" Looks like I'm gonna have to find a piece of Damascus somewhere and make her a "normal one"
Great pen Skippy :cat:

That pen is fantastic, Steven, Front page worthy for sure. Maybe we'll see it there.
I have connections with one of the top damascus makers in the world (I see him at a lot of the knife shows we do.... we often trade stabilized wood for his steel), I may have to ask him about making some pen blank material for me. Maybe someday I'll have a metal lathe.

Beautiful pen.
If you want more contrast in your Damascus, dip it in in Ferric Chloride. Besides making pens, I make Damascus Chef's Knives and that is what I use. You can buy it at radio shack.
It is called etchant solution.

Not to be a know-it-all, but I think it was Wayne and Garth, not Bill n' Tedd, although they did have an excellent adventure.
