I am curious as to how you created the blank for this… would you mind explaining it a bit?

On the third picture, the middle of the lower half looks like you have a little man screaming to get out of the pen.

Very original, very nice.

Must have just dumped all those colored pencils in a blender and hoped for the best eh? Great looking pen!! I’ve been doing pens for almost 20 years; I’ve seen my share on the web and in books, and I think you’re right. This looks like a first to me!! Keep them coming!! But now that you’ve let the ‘cat outta the bag’ you know “imitation IS the sincerest form of flattery”!!!!

What about a similar pen made from those multicolored toothpicks?

Thanks for all the comments!! As for how I did it sorry I am not going to let that one out yet. I am still working on my process on it to make it easier.. Once again thanks for all the comments.

Brilliant idea and it looks really good too.

Very creative! Not only in concept but also in execution – I have to admit, you have me scratching my head on this one…

I agree with drbyte. I too am an avid penturner and this is a first for me. I really like it. And I can take some guesses as to how you made the blank (don’t worry, I won’t tell). And yeah, that sounds like a lot of work. But the end result is beautiful. Very nice work my friend…

Very colorful! One of the members of the wood turners club I’m in made two blanks similar to this using plain pencils. He oriented one horizontally and one vertically and turned a bowl from each. He uses them to explain wood grain direction to new turners.
