We have our Scroll Saw Christmas party (we got snowed out in December) on Saturday and we do a White Elephant gift exchange. Has to be something you made. I did a Atlas Wave pen so I could say I used a Scroll Saw on it (gifts don't have to be scrolled though).
Josh (11 yr old) decided to go with me since brother has a basketball game an hour away. I told him if he wanted to be in the exchange he'd have to make something so he did a pen. The Euro Pen is his pen. I had glued up a bunch of cut-off throw aways a while back with some Black Graphite Epoxy (for building golf clubs) that was getting old. I was wondering how it might show up... I kinda like the black line effect.
Josh said he'd like to use that and the Blackwood. Then he wanted it cut at an angle then re-glued. So I made the blanks for him. And he did the rest from there. Very nice pen. Kinda hoping I win it back at the party.
