A bit more subtle than some of the others ,looks like a gold inlay, which of course it almost is hehe, just on finishing do you put a protective coating on the completed pen ,eg ca or other ?, just that the brass may discolor after a time .

That would make a nice wedding signing pen (tying the knot) and all that hehe, I was going to try some corian but postage to Au was just too dear at the time ,but that was on e-bay so not a lot of give and take with most sellers, I get 24 blanks in a flat pack for around $12 us, they wanted about $40 US to send a few dollars worth of corian, at the moment you spend $100 US costs almost $160 AU .

ok this is a noob Q how the hell did you do that! i can see you cut it as a blank and glued shim between but ho did you cut the round .......................oh i think i worked it out as i type this you drilled the blank, shimed it and used dowel to plug it ......of course it seems so simple now well thanks for showing it looks cool might have to try something simpler but on the same lines one day nice pen

That is very nice
I think that would be a hit with the ladies that is for sure.
What did you use to glue the brass to the corianCheers Rum Pig

ok i get it you make the cuts but dont go all the way through ........but to do the "eye" you drilled the blank and filled it before cutting the cross banding right? thanks for the tutorial link
Patrick
Edit: ok my bad i see now how you cut it ...you cut it again at a different angle right .............ok here a Q has anyone tried to do these cuts on opposite sides (eg side 1 & 2 like normal) and then drilled a hole to be filled with some dowel at 90degrees to the sides cut (side 3 and 4)? i think this would show a cool effect

Extremely nice pen

I reckon it would look cool in black as well - with maybe aluminium, hmmregards

I really love that pen... and as has already been mentioned, the wedding pen and the tying the knot concept is fantastic (have been asked to make a wedding pen for the Chaplain onboard too). Consider the idea... erm.... borrowed
(Imitation is the highest form of flattery)It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.
