Tell us about your entry: Chrome and Black Ti cigar pen dressed in segmented maple - natural, dyed red, and dyed blue. The red and white segments are angle cut (scalloped) to form a wavy pattern that alternates up and down around the upper barrel
Tell us about your entry: This cherry and chome pen represents that our freedom and liberty are protected by intertwined actions of service personnel. This is represented by the red, white, and blue layers of veneer in the knot; the harder the pull, the tighter the knot becomes. We flank our service personnel in support, represented by the red, white, and blue bands. Let's not forget those who have not come home. The white and black veneer bands on the lower barrel are in memory of the POW/MIA. Finally, the long, thin purpleheart veneer lines are in honor of those that gave the ultimate sacrifice, and those that returned home safe, but carrying the scars of service that we who have not served might never understand.
Ok now for the 1st place winner
Drum Roll please...............
