just to test my limits in making pens I assembled and turned a checkerboard
style ink pen.
and i have made a couple of banded pens as well.
my next idea is to make a pen using 2 colors of wood which is mostly one
solid color, but
has a spiral that twists a couple of times around the pen in the other color
of wood...sort of
like a long screw thread.
Any body have any ideas on how to go about it?

Sure , the J. J. Beall Tool Co. has a gizmo that fits on top of your lathe
and using a dremel tool attached will do exactly what you are trying to do!
I have one ,it works great. Mad Mangi.

did, got zippo...but thanks to someone, i find that if you add "tool" to
beall; a magical web address
occurs...thanks to all.
think i'll try to make my own version of the sorby tool first. it looked
easy to make and possibly will
work for what i need. the beall attachment is very versatile looking and
expensive....although my name
is "rich", i'm not.
