Herringbone slimline - 2007 Penmaker's Challenge entry No-picture-s No-picture-s Click the pictures to enlarge them

This pen was created with two exotic woods, pink ivory and purple heart, and complimented with sycamore to balance the colors. The slimline style pen hardware is in 24 karat gold.

One of the primary distinctions of this pen originates from the custom centerband. With the ‘braid’ style created by the segmented wood, the centerband was designed to ‘cinch’ down on the braid to give the illusion that it is holding the braid together.

Thanks for looking…advice is always welcome…

That is a nice pen. It is one of the more unique designs that I have seen.
