Very nice pen. Welcome to Lumber Jocks. Your pens and website are very professional. You have inspired me. Keep posting. I have enjoyed it. Post some pictures of your little shop sometime. I would enjoy seeing it and I am sure others would too.

Nice pen! I'm getting ready to try a celtic knot also. What size kerf did you use? I made a trial run with 1/8 inch and it seemed too wide. Thanks for posting.

Everyone,
Thanks for your comments. It's God who helps me, He gets the Glory!

Todd,
This particular pen has someones name on it but I can re create it closely enough if you still interested.
Thanks for your interest.

And Rick,
Follow the link on the miter saw below and thats the size kerf I use.
I use a jorgensen miter saw I purchased at Home Depot for $20.00 and use the clamp to secure a stop so as I rotate the pen blank the saw cuts in the same place every time. The inlay material needs to be the same thickness as the saw kerf. I used a 45 degree angle on this one. I also use a gluing pad I make by cutting a peice of plywood about 12×18 inches and attaching a 90 degree fence then I wax the sufaces real good to prevent the ca from sticking to it and use it to align the peices as I glue them up. As you glue the inlay strips you need to trim them flush with the pen blank on a band saw or sander.
