Yeah both. I like more contoured fatter pen, and I think the different woods looks striking. But then it all depends on how costly...
If can't do inlay hammer and sickle, perhaps burn?
Alright, I can look into a fatter style pen. The inlay is very possible, however, I doubt I'd be able to do a hammer and sickle inlay and I HATE wood burning since I suck at it.
I am very interested in this. I'm not familiar with what point in the process it would be sent out to us though, so could you elaborate on whether you fit it with the internal mechanisms and ink or would we do that? If you send us a finished pen, what would the quality of it be?

Any chance of something like that... with hammer and sickle inlay?
I really like the bottom one that Ivan posted here. If you could do something like that I'd almost certainly get one. :thumb:
It would shipped to you ready to use with a pen/ink already in it. Pen refills are available
here. I'm still thinking about finish. The pen shown in the OP as a high friction polish on it. I liked it, but it takes around 45 minutes to apply and it did chip slightly when I pressed the pen parts together. I'm not sure if I didn't let it dry long enough or what.
The other option is a super glue finish. It's a faster process but it requires CA glue (super glue), a CA glue accelerator (to dry faster) as well as sand paper from 1000-12,000 grit and maybe even a polishing compound. It can be an expensive first time cost, but the finish is really nice, almost glass like, and really durable. I'm not 100% sure about how long the the high friction polish will hold up since this is the first time I've dealt with it.
I can for sure do an inlay like that, I could even do a hashbaz triple style one to match your rest HoffmanMyster
