I traded a Texan friend some of my snake skin blanks for some of his Texas flag blanks. The woods are bloodwood, maple, and blue dyed maple. The star is inlaid using a laser to cut the pocket and the inlay. Comments welcome...good, bad, or indifferent. Enjoy.

Your pens are so nice, it makes us Virginians want to reel. I find it interesting that we see more Texas flag pens on this site than any other state. The deep blue on the top one is the best color I have seen in a dyed wood. I wonder if you could predict how a dye will take by looking at the wood or if its just luck of the draw. Anyway, nice job.
 
Is the top one a pencil?

They look nice Don.

Good choice of kit.
 
Scott: The top one is a pencil ... Thanks to you ... thanks Scott

Bruce: I think we see more Tex flags because our flag is a simple design and relatively easy to make. The 50-50 bloodwood and maple are the ones that Ron McIntire sells, the blue is from Bill Baumbeck (I think). The bottom pen's blue has an undyed streak running through it which I find often, but the color is usually good and some of the blue ones are really nice like the top one.

Thanks to the rest who commented. I do appreciate your feedback.

Now if you would have turned those on a Sierra Vista, you would have a bigger flag.
I thought everything is bigger in Texas [:D]

Nice pens. Ken said he is working on an AZ flag, can't wait. [:)]
 
When I have seen that pen done in the past, the star is toward the end of the pen. Can't decide if I prefer one orientation over the other?? Regardless, it is a good looking pen and should be a good seller......everywhere except in Oklahoma!![:D][:D]
 
Beautiful Don!! The finish looks pretty darn good too. I can't wait for the Arizona flag design, but what I'm really waiting for is the one fror North Dakota.[:0]
 
Naw Frank, That's the "Tijuana Two Step", the Texas Two Step is a dance, I think! Thanks for the compliment.[:D]

However, your choice of topic title is unfortunate.
Isn't the 'Texas Two Step' a euphemism for diarrhea? [:0]
