A couple rollerball pens. Curly Maple/Walnut and Walnut/Maple. I call these serpentine blanks and have made over 700.

Very nice designs. Do you glue up the blanks your self or buy the A?

Very nice. Any chance you'll provide a tutorial on how to make the blanks?

Here's a video of someone making a similar (but not as elegant) blank. He used strips cut from a Coke can for the stripes.

Did you know...

Geoff Whaling

that this process was actually patented in 2002 by a Ronald G Daniels, now lapsed. "Manufacturing method for producing three dimensional inlaid turned and re-sawn wood products"

It would be very interesting to trace the true origins of this idea as I doubt Mr Daniels was the originator.

Terry very nice work and well crafted blanks. I take my hat off to you - excellent quality & alignment of the blanks. You must be well organized.
