Ballpoint & Pencil Set in Dyed Myrtle Burl and Brass

Note the shifting chatoyance that shows in the shades of reds and oranges along the bodies of this set of writing instruments.  Each piece has been given a unique finish treatment to accentuate their individuality within the set.  The pencil body is simpler, to highlight the figuring and grain of the Myrtle burl.  The pen body has random inlays of cultured fire opal below and to the sides of the pocket clip.  It also incorporates the smooth and reliable Schmidt click mechanism.
