Syzygy

I just finished this pen yesterday.  It is a gift for a friend.  The pen is made from Coastal Red Milkwood with dyed black veneers.  I call this design” Syzygy”.  Syzygy is an astronomical term referring to the alignment of the planets, specifically the sun, the moon and the earth.  It occurs at the time of a full moon and a new moon.

    Wow, what a gorgeous pen. Do you by any chance teach how to do this? I’ve been turning pens for about a year now and would love to incorporate the veneers in a similar fashion.

    Thanks,

  • Thanks for the kind words Tony. I am planning on doing some articles on pens. Next time I make this design I’ll take some in progress pictures for an article.
