Thought it was time to go a bit ‘high end’… So here’s my ebony and brass pen.

I seem to keep fiddling about with the idea of ‘segmented turning’, i.e. mixing wood types to create patterns, but the idea of mixing materials keeps nagging too. So laying brass through wood seemed like a good idea, and – heck – why not go for one of the hardest woods around. In for a pound an’ all that. I reckoned the contrast might be quite nice.

Must say I’m right pleased with the result. NEXT!
