Not gonna rush, but I should have it done in a few hours. Maybe. This'll be the first with my metal lathe, now that I think on it.

Can't wait to see what you cooked up. Great lookin blank. Good Luc with the turning.

You can. I've done this one before. That's why this is a "redux" ... This one will be a little more precise and will not require a CA finish, because the black veneer is all Onyx acrylic. Also, this time I will keep the bigger pictures I take of it.

Damn Eric, this is an amazing blank!! It is artwork without even being turned!!

Problem solved. Here it is capped.
This one is cleaner in many ways compared to the first one I did. Every mating surface and / or thickness critical piece was faced (trimmed / milled / sanded) to within .001 using a mini-thickness sander. Very boring work, I must say. But The results speak for themselves.
Turned it on a mini-metal lathe and I like that way of doing it.

One of the Byrnes machines. You'll need a perfectly milled pushbar/ platform and doubled sided tape to make it work. But I used it to clean up everything, even the blank itself before cutting.
The thing I like most about this pen design is how the Zebra stripes create optical illusions.

You know, I thought the blank was pretty cool looking without making anything from it, but now the pen!!!

A couple of months of long hours has kept me from seeing a bunch of great pens being posted here. I sure missed this one and it is fantastic. I need to go back and see what else I missed. I am sure there will be very few, at best, that match this.
Its not a pen, it is a work of art that happens to function as a pen! :good: :good: :good:
