Samurai I
Cover took his inspiration from an old Japanese wood block print
that depicts a samurai warrior attacked by three bandits. The engraving
is alive with action, and is inlaid with both fine gold and copper.
Broadwell
created the pen with aqua colored hard rubber, mokumé gané trim, and
titanium, which made a wonderful canvas for Cover's work. Bottom inset
photo shows the piston style mechanism that Broadwell created for this
piece.

Samurai
II "Trophy"
This
commissioned piece is Broadwell's second Samurai themed pen. A dark red
acrylic was used for the body with a titanium sleeve over the barrel and
mokumé gané
trim, including the band at the base of the section. Ray Cover
reproduced an 18th Century print by engraving and inlaying in fine gold
and copper the Samurai with his trophy.

"Koi"
On this "Koi"
garden pond pen, Ray Cover's engraving of the titanium cap delicately details
Japanese koi meandering among lily pads and blossoms. Copper, fine gold,
and platinum inlays highlight the engraved scene. The pen's barrel is
solid mokumé gané. The graceful and simplistic clip is mokumé as
well. Water garden green hard rubber components complete the garden pond
theme.
