Everyone knows I didn't make this blank! It was a gift that I tried my best to do justice to. Any seen and/or imagined errors are mine, not those of the blank maker.

<br />Wow, what a pen, Cav! Never seen a pen like that, and probably won't again. What was it that bird quoth right before he hit your window? Nevermore? []

<br />Top marks, both of you. Eagle for his painstaking attention to detail in making the blank(s) and Cav for having the guts to turn it!![8D]
I would hate to call the man up and say ' Er, sorry Eagle, you know that blank that you gave me.....' [B)]

<br />WOW! Great job on that Eaagle-ized blank, William! It reminds me of my days in high school AV when I ran the 16mm projector! (Or nights in the frat house with the 8mm projector! [8D])

The base blank is made of blood wood.
Each "wave" repeats six times around the blank in each direction.
Each set of waves is parallel to each other,
The white pieces are diamond brand toothpicks.
The black pieces are Sauers dyed veneers
If the toothpicks used to make the pen were laid end to end they would extend 20 feet.
There are 120+- used.
The blank was glued up with CA
