So these are halfknots. I thought it might be easier to match. They are cut through. As you can see the bottom lines up better than the top. The top I used a 90* L straightedge to glue. The bottom I just eyeballed both sides. I think that would be harder to do with 4 cuts. Woods are African Blackwood, paduk and curly hard maple. No sanding before the CA because that blackwood dust would ruin the other two colors. This pen isn't perfect but I learned more. And I think the colors are striking.
