Buckeye Burl with black resin on a ballpoint pen

Random outlines have been laser cut into the Buckeye Burl cylinder.  These voids are filled with black resin.  Once the resin cures, usually in seven to ten days, the body is shaped and sanded to its final form.  After that, it is polished to highlight the glossy sheen of the cured resin.  When that step is complete, the body is assembled to the mechanism and fittings of the pen.
