Super job Ron, I was meaning to ask you how you did those. The lines are so clean and crisp. Great work.

Great pens Rj. I like them all, but the one in the middle is my favorite. Thanks for sharing.

I saw one and thought of the Olyumpic Rings. That would be a challenge.

The look great.

It’s obvious that we’re all really impressed with your pens—and especially the center one. Can you give us a little information on how you did it?

Thanks all for the Great complements
The process for making the middle pen is actually very easy.(Easyer done than said)
1ST – Start with an approx 3/4”x3/4” by what ever length blank you like.
2ND – Draw 3 lines (or as many lines as you like) from one corner to the opposite corner I spaced mine 1/4” apart, then do the same on the other corner so that the lines cross over each other this will make diamonds in the center of the blank.
3RD – I used a band saw to cut on the 1st set of 3 lines this will make 4 seperate pieces ,Then I used veneer in between the pieces, Glued & clamped them together =Let that side dry.
4Th – Now repeat that process on the other set of lines ,Glue & let dry .
5TH- Drill the hole in your blank AND Voila your ready to turn your pen…... Experiment and have fun !!!
