Started these a few months back as a challenge to to try new things. I've learnt a lot, mainly don't bite off more than you can chew 😂😂

WOW!! That is an impressive collection. Herringbones have a very distinct learning curve, and only with repeated efforts can be consistently mastered - you have done superbly. Your precision and tight joints are excellent, and I appreciate the design effort for the end caps, trim rings and sections - NICE Knot!!

Oh... hard to choose, but I do love the Blue/Cocobolo.

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Mark
 
I noticed an interesting photography effect. In your photos, there is a white line, (not in the least bit distracting to me). But it is cool that in every photo, the white line aligns with your segmenting! It displays your precision of the herringbone. Again, well done. 👏 👏 👏

Mark, that is an accurate and impressive observational fact in itself and testifies to the quality of the work that produced these stunning pens !

It is very difficult to find words that are adequate . . . . .

This is a new month. I believe we have an IAP acknowledgment for "Pen of the Month" or something like that.

But how about the "Pen 5-Pack" which Eric has displayed above ?

Wow. Great work. I like them all, and am extremely impressed with the Mulberry with Red Tulip pen. The knot design in the section is definitey over the top!

Hi Mark, I took these pictures in my kitchen. It's the lights from the cabinets above the worktop. An unexpected effect

That's very impressive! The Celtic knot in the looks great; a little busy, but very well done.

Did you put the herringbone on a tube and then line the tube?

Hi, sorry my description was not very accurate. The internal structure in the pen is all keronite. This is one of my prototypes and maybe explains it better.

Amazing is an understatement. Well done!!
 
Really very nice. Excellently exquisite actually. Having done several of these, not as nice as yours BTW, I know how much work goes into the 360 herringbone which is what these appear to be. Did you make the 6-tile layers then stack them or do you have a different way to build the blank? Thanks for sharing.
Do a good turn daily!

Thanks, I do them in 6 tile layers. Building another right now
 
Absolutely gorgeous pens!! Can't imagine the expertise and amount of work it must have taken to do them and so perfectly. Puts my beginner Slimlines to shame but shows me what's possible. Congrats!
