Kallenshaan Inlay

[Bob Ellis]

Here is my first attempt at a Kallenshaan laser cut inlay kit for a Sierra pen in black titanium and gold. The background wood is fiddle-back koa and the woods used for the fiddle are Cocobolo and black dyed spalted maple. I am hoping that these pens will find a ready market among my many fiddle-playing friends and acquaintances. It wasn't that difficult to assemble - a lot easier than the beagle pen kit that I am currently making for a nephew.

Super job that is Bob... love it

 

[flexi]

I like 'em...some are harder than others easy to turn and good fun all round, just difficult to get your money back on

Cor, that's gonna strike some chords, Bob! Well done, mate!

Bob.

I don't pretend to be an expert on identifying woods, Peter, but the instructions provided by Kallenshaan state that the barrel is made from koa. It is not a wood that I have used before and it had a 'fluffy' surface (for the want of a better word) before being turned to size, which I have not encountered with maple on the occasions when I have used it.

very nice. I hope that they sell well for you.

I have just got some koa, but it is a brown wood. very different to yours!

No biggie mate I love it anyway Koa is related to our Blackwood to see it in such a clear light colour is a delight mate.

Maybe Kallenshaan got it wrong on their instruction sheet.
