Here's a Designer Pen using a "stacked" lamination of Bloodwood, Ebony, and Brass. I had trouble finding brass locally, until I went to a builders supply. Bought a door push plate made from solid brass at a good price. Sanded to 220, then micromeshed, then sealed with FP and RW. The angled metal was a task to cut, even with the Ci1. The blanks tended to slip on the mandrel when hitting the sharp points. Had to hacksaw the edges of the brass and increased the revs to 2100rpm's. I used the Ci1 primarily on this pen, then I switched to a regular gouge. Comments and criticisms welcomed.
