This pen is a combination of inspiration from this community

[axolotl_laserbeam]

Some basic segmenting, knots, along with tube-in casting diachrolam. I noticed a member made a pen entirely out of diachrolam and was trying to blend in the seam. I took a different approach for the body, I just added an ebony maple accent that covers the seam horizontally. Many members here have inspired me, thank you, guys!

My but that is nice. You have a lot of different elements, but I like the combination. Unique and well done.

Great first post Collin.

That took a bunch of work!

Good thinking! That's a nice looking pen.

It's getting harder and harder to come up with something different but you did it. Very nice.

Impressive! I've played with Dichrolam and didn't like it at all. Like using a rubber tire. You did a nice job with all the different types of blank making.

That pen is spectacular !!

... in several ways ...

... quite apart from the visual impact of all the elements you've combined,
I like the way you have sized the barrel to match the cap.

Man alot going on in that pen. A little too busy for me but you did all aspects well. Thanks for showing. How about a little info about yourself so we all can get to know you better. Hope you are having fun because that is what this is all about.

I am going to be honest, I just kinda let my creativity guild the way for the design... then try my best to translate that into a pen.

I agree it is really frustrating to work with mainly because it is really expensive, huge pay off though!

Yes, i love making pens, the only thing that is not fun is having to be patient! I will try to update my profile for you guys!

There is an argument that less is more. But then why not just go for it I like it.

Diachrolam is tricky but can be rewarding. If you ever get any, and want tips just pm my inbox!

I agree less is more, however, I just love the chaos.
