A client and old friend of mine recently discovered that I started making pens after my retirement from teaching this past year. His former penmaker had retired and he was needing a new pen guy to keep making his signature pen associated with his business. He contacted me after finding out on facebook that I am making pens, and sent me an old pen to see if I could recreate it as closely as possible.
After some work and research, I was able to recreate the design and with the exception of the band, we decided to go with the Classic Twist 24kt Gold pen with various hardwoods.
I am attaching a picture of the results. Several Classic Twists and one Sculpted Twist - using Redwood Burls, Bocote, and Leopard wood. I have not been able to find a supplier that will sell the Sculpted Lattice band separate from the kit, so we had to simply go with the Classic band. If you know of any supplier that will sell the Sculpted Lattice band (or one similar) separate from the kits, please let me know - I know my client would appreciate it!
Take a look at the results!

Lonnie
