Three BOW Gentleman's pens. Two of them are for the vacancy pastors that served at our church while we tried to find a new one. The third pen is for our new pastor. One of the pens has a strip of ebony in the middle. This was needed because my barrel trimmer severely damaged the end of the blank. Since the cutoff was not quite big enough, it needed the ebony to salvage the project. Finished with BLO/shelac mixture.
Great looking pens. All three will be cherished I'm sure. You did a great job. I would have thought the ebony band was on purpose. Really makes the grain stand out. BTW, should any of these guys not care for their pen, feel free to send it to me for proper disposal. I've heard that it can be hard to find a place to get rid of this stuff. ;-p
