A New Pen

[Raymond Overman]

Just finished this Sterling Silver Baron. It's ebony with a dyed orange maple veneer. The inlay doesn't go all the way around the pen. It's three different length lines.

Raymond that is a beautiful looking pen. I like the veneer. I have been thinking of using veneer like that when I do like a walnut bowl. I think that would look nice. Great work Raymond.

Very nice Raymond! Great looking pen and I think the silver kit looks great with your choice of wood and treatment.

Raymond,
That is a handsome and elegant pen. I'm at a bit of a loss on what you mean by "different lengths" though. Are you saying that you cut different depths of saw cuts in the blank and inserted the veneer edgewise?

[Ed Scolforo]

You got one classy looking pen there, Raymond!

[David Fried]

It's not pointy :confused:

Otherwise, it looks great - very elegant. Great job!!

That's exactly what I did John. Endgrain of the veneer is facing the outside of the pen so that you get some chatoyance across the inlay.

Well David, I don't consider it a stick either so I'm not going to go poking anyone with it, so it doesn't need to be pointy.

Bice pen Raymond. I like that inlay. Pretty cool.

Raymond that's a gret looking pen. What is that in the background, some sort of inkwell/ holder?

It's just a scrap block that I had practiced some eccentric turning on.
