Wall Street II with turquoise inlay

[mwhatch]

I used my CNC router with home built rotary axis
to rough cut the Marbled Black Walnut.
Then V-Carved for the inlay.
I used turquoise inlace powder.
Then, finished on the lathe.

Thanks for looking.

That is such a sweet looking final result. I would love to be able to do that.

I don't understand what "V-carved for the inlay" means. What is v-carving? Please excuse my ignorance.

Thx

Completely excellent! As soon as I saw it I thought pens like that would be an immediate hit. The stuff I hear from my retailers generally sounds like, "Unique is best." And that is unique.

I am inspired with your router work. CNC, what's that?

Thanks to all for your comments. It means a lot to this short time turner.

With all you great pen artists out there, I knew when I started turning, that I needed to think of something a little different and unique. I hope to do more with the CNC router.

RogerH, and anyone else not sure, here is a link that explains Vcarving a lot better than I can.

Jgrden, CNC is where the computer is controlling the movement of the router to create the artwork or engravings.

Great job on the pen. I will need to look into this process more. Thanks for sharing.

I just got my first sale from this pen. My friend showed to to another co-worker and he decided his wife needed one similar.
