I am currently offering spinning tops, rings and pens made from unique materials. My favorite materials to work in is Timascus. Created by Alpha Knife Supply, Timascus is a forge welded laminate material composed alternating layers of different titanium alloys. I start with solid billets of material that I machine into spinning tops, rings or pens. Unlike traditional "precious metals" Damascus and Timascus rings cannot be sized due to their material properies.
Spinning TopsYes, tops, like when you were a kid, only precision machined for spins in the minutes long, not seconds. https://www.facebook.com/mitchlumMachined |

Ring Pricing and PicturesAll my rings are machined from a solid barstock. Because of the nature of titanium and stainless steels
the rings are ordered to size, and cannot be resized like gold jewelry. While I try to keep a few rings on hand,
for the most part they are made to order. Please email me: | |

Timascus Rings:
I am proud to offer rings made from Timascus, a pattern welded
titanium laminate. The pattern used for these rings is a twist composed of CP and 6AL4V alloys. |
Pricing: starting at $550 |
Thomas Stainless Damascus:
For those of you who prefer a more traditional materials choice, I offer
twist pattern Stainless Damascus from Thomas Damascus. Those of you familiar with his
blade steel may be familiar with his AEB-L and 304 mix. The rings are machined, then heat treated
and properly tempered. I lightly etch the inside with a deeper etch on the outside, then polish the etched surfaces to a satin/smooth finish. I have found this to be
the best combination of striking contrast and comfortable wearability. |
Pricing: Starting at $450 |
Pen Pricing and PicturesMy pens have Timascus bodies that I machine from solid rod stock, and fittings from high quality kits. Please email me: | |

Twist Pen:
The Twist Pen is a semi-custom pen with body machined from a solid billet of Timascus and the fittings from a high quality kit. The body has a curved contour so that it sits nicely in the hand. Creating a pen with a combination of unique materials and premade fittings allows me to offer this fine writing instrument at a significantly lower price point than a full custom pen. The Timascus Twist Pen is 4.8" overall length with machined grooves in the grip area. Texturing on the grip optional. |
Pricing: Twist Pen: $525Matching Top: Optional, priced at time of order |
Rollerball:
My Rollerball pens, like the twist pen are semi-custom pens with body and cap machined from a solid billet of Timascus and the fittings from a high quality kit. The body has a slight belly so that it sits nicely in the hand. |
Pricing: starting at $850 |
