Made this as an experiment to see how it comes out. I had to be really mindful of the curve of the blank as well as it easily rotating while digging the grooves to avoid slipping and cutting myself.
Here is the process:

Thank you gentlemen; as always appreciate the feedback. Larry, I feel proud to have inspired you to get back into pen making. When I first started, I was thinking who uses pen anymore? Two of my daughters are RN’s and the third one a teacher. They informed me that both professions are very particular about their pens and avid pen lovers. So, that got me inspired to make a few pens for them. Then my nephew got his master’s degree in statistics so, I had to make him one. There is a demand out there although most folks are reluctant to pay $30-$40 for a pen.

Hi Cameron,
No, it is actually painting. Check out my youtube channel to see how I make them that color. Here is an example:
