Walnut with pink ivory accents. I'm not usually a lover of pink, but I am stunned by how gorgeous pink ivory looks once finished. (Thanks Jim!)

A small mystery for you to ponder: I glued up the blank with .125mm brass sandwiched by the walnut and the pink ivory. When I had finished the pen I noticed that one of the joints on the cap no longer had any brass in it. What the heck happened to it???? :eeeeek::eeeeek:

David I think this is pioneering work and puts you up there with the masters.
I love to see what you are producing, keep it coming young man.
I am hoping to get back to civilisation and my lathe soon.

And i don't believe for one minute you had the brass in the cap joint .. Sadly this is the start of it .... :tongue:
