Description: For your consideration I have placed a unique and handcrafted inlayed wooden pen for auction. This pen is comprised of a chrome pen with a laser inlay Purple Heart inlaid blank. Additionally, a band of a matching acrylic is placed at the top, highlighting the colors of the Purple Heart image, reminiscent of the stained glass within a military chapel. Notice the details within the pictures provided. A perfect gift for that loved one, soldier, a member of the US Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine, Coast Guard, Veteran, Law Enforcement or anyone that appreciated a fine writing instrument with personality and wishes to display their pride for someone that wishes to honor someone that has earned a Purple Heart . This double inset blank is beauty in its simplistic design. A maple inlayed with various woods, creating a beautiful depiction of one of this nation's oldest recognition of service . All of this combines to display a distinguished and exciting presentation. The inlay pens are constructed from a laser cut collection of parts, assembled together as if creating a 3D jigsaw puzzle. Some inlay kits will take over two hours to assemble! Once assembled, the pen making will now begin. A single tube chrome finish pen, allows for both an attractive piece as well as a pleasure to use. The blank, grasped smoothly within your hand while providing you with a very comfortable grip. After assembling the numerous wooden parts onto a pen tube, it is turned, tung oil is applied (brings out the color and grain), it is then encased in a resin, turned again on a lathe, finally, polished to a crystal clear coating... bringing out a smooth, glossy and protective finish, creating a beautiful pen.

Don't be shy, you never know! After all, if I took this much time and effort in posting this item, do you think I took shortcuts in crafting this pen? Sadly, the photos do not do it justice, but hey, I am a pensmith, not a photographer. Beware of pens for sale which have a simple lacquer or wax finish which will within a short time wear off. The simple act of using a pen in combination of your own natural skin oils will wear away these finishes. Acrylic or wooden with an acrylic finish pens are immune to such actions, my pens will provide you with years of beauty and shine. In most cases, these pens may even be disassembled, re-polished then reassembled. Many online pen sellers are novices which do not truly appreciate the finer aspects of pen turning. Instrumental in the transition between the metal components and the pen body. Keep in mind that this is a hand instrument, you will hold it within your fingertip. As such, without smooth transitions, each and every time you hold the pen in your grip, you will be reminded how the edges are sharp or misaligned. I believe you would be frustrated on your purchase with each daily reminder. Additionally, pens with wood blanks should be stabilized or cured, then have a protective coating applied. Many sellers simply apply a buff wax or lacquer spray upon their pens, which in the short run looks nice, however in a short time, the buff will wear off, leaving you with very visible wear areas. Whether it be a tung oil or acrylic finish, wood pens should have a protective finish, otherwise that "new" look will be lost in a short time. Wooden Gift or Presentation Boxes are available. Additionally, laser etching allows for a very distinct presentation as well as a lovely desk storage. Please email me for information on including this option. ========================== As with any handmade item you should know a bit about the craftsman. I have been an avid woodsmith for over two decades concentrating on fine joinery and finishes. In 2006 I studied penmaking with an appreciation for smooth transition of the body and metal components, unique and custom finishes, as well as the finer aspects of pen making. In 2008 I began teaching basic penmaking to fellow military members emphasizing the finer aspects such as the finish, curvature and lines as well as the transition from the pen body to the metal connections. I pride myself on the quality I present in each and every pen. With over 500 pens under my belt, I can truly present the Ebay member with a quality writing instrument that will be a treasured for years to pass. SAVE ON SHIPPING!!
