I will never be able to make pens! Beautiful!

 

[cskipper]

That is stunning! Is it an effect from the lighting, or is the top more brown than the bottom? Either way, it is beautiful.

That's one awesome pen!!

Wow, Eagle! That is spectacular! I really like the wood/metal combination...very classy presentation.

Cathy, I'm guessing that the cap is reflecting light from a standard lightbulb that is burning at a lower degree Kelvin, giving a yellowish ('warm') glow. The pen itself is reflecting light from the flash, which burns at a higher degree Kelvin ('cooler') which is a 'whiter' or 'bluer' light.

Thanks for the remarks.
At first look the pen isd black and "gold" but the ebony is not a black as I would have liked.
Light is "playing" in the picture but there is some brown in it though the entire cap is not brown.
(clear as mud huh?)

WOW!!! Beautiful.

I always said turning was something I was not interested in. But seeing all these beautiful pens has me thinking maybe I've been wrong. :slap:

Careful there bluewing. That's a very slippery slope you're peering over. I think there is a lathe available on the forum! :rolf: Mike, care to give him a push???:lol:

I know very little about woodturning, but I do know the next level when I see it, and I think you might have surpassed it. Another stunning piece if I may say so.

 

[cskipper]

Oh yeah, Eagle has skipped several steps ahead!

Cathy Rhett et al thanks for the kind words.
I am always trying to come up with something different but if you want to see the "next level try yhis site.
I have seen their work in person.
A two dimensional picture does not do their work justice.
