These were made for a gentleman in Singapore who is giving them to some friends as wedding gifts. They are two-tone Red Mallee Burl with aluminum flashing from local home improvement store.

The pens are made from opposite ends of a single extra-long blank. And the knots represent the "tying of the knot". They are the Rhodium Jr Gentleman's kit with a CA finish left at 6000 micromesh for a "soft gloss", to better show off the wood and inlay.
Just FYI, I received the blank as a "throw in" from Harris Burl Supply. This was a piece he considered "too bad" to charge for. You should see his 2nds and 1sts!!
