    Default Canadiana Fountain pen

    Hi all,

    This is my first post here of my work.
    It is a Canadiana Fountain pen Titanium Gold and Sterling Silver accents.
    Blank is a black with gold web trustone.
    I scrolled a treble cleft into the blank and filled it with turquoise inlace.

    Hope you like it!

    Comments and criticism welcomed!

    Andrew

    Nicely done and welcome to the pen turning section of the forum! My poor eyes must be going because I can't see a treble clef anywhere.
    When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.

    Very Nice Pen and well done

    With regards to no being able to see treble clef. There is a music note in the top of the pen (its called a crotchet) there is no treble clef.

    Cheers Ian

    O.K. I saw that. Looks to be an 8th note, but I think it's backwards. The reason I am particularly interested in this is that I am actively searching for a blank with a treble clef. I need it for a gift for a music teacher. Sorry to hijack.

    I had to scroll saw the note into the blank and fill it with the inlace.
    Perhaps a brighter colour would have been better, but the lady i made it for chose the turquoise.

    The same note goes all the way through, so one side will be backwards.
    I was told after i was done that i could have cut the blank in half and scrolled the same note in both halves and then glued it back together.
    But that sounds like too much work!!!
