Project Information

We have our Scroll Saw Christmas party (we got snowed out in December) on Saturday and we do a White Elephant gift exchange. Has to be something you made. I did a Atlas Wave pen so I could say I used a Scroll Saw on it (gifts don't have to be scrolled though).

Josh (11 yr old) decided to go with me since brother has a basketball game an hour away. I told him if he wanted to be in the exchange he'd have to make something so he did a pen. The Euro Pen is his pen. I had glued up a bunch of cut-off throw aways a while back with some Black Graphite Epoxy (for building golf clubs) that was getting old. I was wondering how it might show up… I kinda like the black line effect.

Josh said he'd like to use that and the Blackwood. Then he wanted it cut at an angle then re-glued. So I made the blanks for him. And he did the rest from there. Very nice pen. Kinda hoping I win it back at the party.

Nice looking pair. Gives me an idea for the left over anthracite Got plenty of that black powder left over from doing the epoxy grout on the kitchen counter

Nice work with the pens! I have not made a 'wave' pen, yet, but I like the simplicity of the flowing lines. I like your son's work, too. I agree that the black epoxy gives a nice definition to the segmenting…sharp!

The pens are great looking - but the really good part of this story/project is that it was accomplished with your son. Good for you.

Love the Atlas pen. How long did the glue up require?

These are great! I was looking thorugh your projects and that atlas really caught my eye. How did you do the blank to get the overlapping curves?
