The Abalone Zen

[Jim in Oakville]

Here are a few new ones, abalone by Ken Brown.

I am very happy with the look of the blanks on the Zen.

This pen style is a good seller for me, often referred to as a great purse pen by some of my customers

These will be off to the gallery this week, Valentines Day is coming!

Again, Thank you Ken, you cast a beautiful blank, I love these!!

Those are beautiful pens!! I would hate to catch a tool turning one of those.

Wow, those are awesome!

Too cool!!! I think it's amazing that the blanks were made with so much attention to detail that the pattern is maintained over the joints.
Top class workmanship!!
