I got in love with the potential of using laser cutter to create pen blanks that other ways will be difficult to create. Here a busy one with 5 natural wood species ![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Thank you Mark!Artistry and technology = superb innovation. I love your work!![]()
Thanks!!!Some of the best use of laser cutting I have seen in a blank. Now to see how a finished blank looks on a pen.![]()
Interesting! It may have do, also, with the type of wood, and exposure to UV light. At one point I explored the use of UV protecting layers (I used to made alcohol paintings, and to protect them I use UV resistant spray) … maybe something to play with furtherWith the varieties of wood color and beauty of design, It is obvious that you did some deep thinking. And It looks like natural talent to me.
One thing I would suggest, in case you haven't already, research best UV finish that would also display the pen's colors. Various woods will fade or darken over 2 to 6 years. That pen and subsequent pens are too beautifully made to lose their vibrancy!
My first pen with a good CA finish was padauk and had a very attractive color. But within about 2 years, it faded naturally. I have numerous cherry pieces of furniture and they turn darker over a period of about 4 to 6 years. UV finishes will not stop the natural "darkening" of certain woods, but it can delay it.
ThanksAwesome work.
thanks Dave!Stunning work. - Dave
Thanks!!Wow!
Thanks!!Very impressive! It might be a little busy for some but I love it. Great work.
Looks FANTASTIC! Could you post pictures of the making process as well? Thanks!I got in love with the potential of using laser cutter to create pen blanks that other ways will be difficult to create. Here a busy one with 5 natural wood species![]()
Thank you!!! CheersThat is artistry! Nice combination of woods and shapes and patterns. Totally gorgeous!
Thanks! I do not have pics of the process. But in paper is simple (more complicated in execution) you made wood tubes and you put them in a laser cutter with the pattern design.Looks FANTASTIC! Could you post pictures of the making process as well? Thanks!
