This was my first experiment with the SYP for a PITH pen. Southern yellow pine knot with turquoise infill.
Very Nice! I like the inlay, hope to find a inclusion that needs a bit of filling for my own PITH pen.
Interesting. I just bought another battery operated Dremel and it is much faster than my other one. My point being, where do I find dental bits that fit the Dremel bit.Very Nice! I like the inlay, hope to find a inclusion that needs a bit of filling for my own PITH pen.
If it doesn't have an inclusion, make one! I use a dremel and a dental bit, but you could use any small bit. Find an interesting knot, enlarge any natural cracks, and route out grooves following the shape of the knot. This particular pen had lots of lovely holes, but I often help nature along to produce an interesting infill.

Sharon,
Great Pen!! I really like the way you used accented the natural appearance of the wood. I wish the pine I bought had a more yellow appearance to it and more natural features. I'm wondering if adding a tint to the CA would help in addition to using inlays...what do you think? Doc
Sharon, Thanks so much for the offer..but I found some wood. My son pointed out all the pieces that were left over from the pergola that he built.
I found a piece with a large knot and made the PITH Pen out of it this A.M. Turning a very large knot in wood was interesting. Thanks again, Doc
I like the looks of it, I really like the way people modify a slimline pen to look such as this.
