Diy Pen Tray

[yamaha_no_46]

I just wanted to share my homemade pen tray finished recently. It took me a couple of hours today to complete it with some wood, glue, grill sticks (as seperators), thick cardboard and a piece of velvety linen fabric. The wood is finished with a few coats of wood oil. I want to add a clear plexiglass lid with a pair of mini hinges. The pen collection is a modest one now. A few more P-51 and a MB-149 may fill in the empty slots in the near future.

 

Thanks!

It looks great! I think that the minimalist design makes the pens stand out.

Looks great. I always feel envious about people skilled enough to do these DIY cases.

Here is the final product. The lid is cut from clear polystyrene sheet of 3mm thickness. It extends 2mm off the front side eliminating the need for a handle to lift the lid. It turned out pretty handsome. Thanks to all for your kind comments.

That's a lovely box, and a resourceful use of grill sticks!

I'm sorry---What's a grill stick?

That's a great looking case. The neutral colors make the pens stand out, and at least to me the hinges accentuate the gold trim on the pens.

Here it is. Wooden sticks for barbeque and kebab.
