They look quite nice:thumbs:you need to use the same thickness inlay as the saw blade kerf so that the lines meet up.

As a prospective buyer receiver no one would fault or criticise that work Woody they would be thrilled to own it I found your criss crossing beautiful people who make pens dont buy pens as a rule hand the pen to a stranger say nowt and prove me. Getting to reason one piece pens are the go to for ease and productivity, economy. Looking at a telephoto pic of a crossover on a freeway etc roads merge with incredible natural patterns. Your pen is quite enlarged from the real size not everyone has the courage.

Thanks Terry it was just a thought si It will be a new fretsaw in the new year about the clamps I did have loads from 6" to 6ft and but was told I had to give up woodwork a few years ago so I sold up had an op and was told I cold carry on so it has been quite an expensive time so its cope with the few I have but I mostly only make pens now for fun and my wood collection
