These are stunning Itzhak I like both the boxes and the pens. Looking at the box I like the way you have built these with a half inner tenon something I would never have thought of doing also as a newbie do you mind if I ask how you finished the pen and boxes to such a high shine?

Thank you all I am glad you like my work:rolling::rolling:
Bob the finish on my work is done with 3 very unique self made compounds based on my knowledge I earned in my work in the Israeli High tec,with these 3 compounds I can rich ultra high surface finish in 1/32 the regular time,
I think I will put these 3 compoun in my Etsy shop soon :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

Itzhak my dearly beloved is hooked on a program called The Bold and The Beautiful.

Your pen is both your boxes out of this world beautiful. I know I have recounted this before but years ago I had a Jewish mate from Jerusalem his newly married daughter still lived there so he raved on about his brother who had this fabulous business at home in OLive Wood well all the bragging came to naught so I rang the main overseas seller of pen blanks out of Bethlehem ordered a heap of them paid my mates daughter through her bank, she and her husband went by cab to a semi safe place in Bethlehem and picked up and paid for them then sent them to the father here then on to me. This was like the mating of Elephants took a long time even the money transfer was 50 in US dollars as was the transaction plus plus and no none of the blanks were of the quality of your pen and boxes mate.

The pen is BOLD and Beautiful the boxes would grace royalty.

Kind regards Peter.:claps::claps::claps:

Yup, beautiful. Is the black ebony, Blackwood or an acrylic, don't know if I missed that, but if it's the wood, how did you stop the ebony or Blackwood dust contaminating the olive wood?

Black Ebony is bad "match" with another "wood" it should be pretreated,I used here Black Corian.......:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:
