Another segmented fountain, and a few others

[amazinglyrustic]

A segmented classic fountain pen with gold and black hardware dressed in African Blackwood and Purpleheart. The cuts were made on my band saw rather then the miter saw I normally use since it does not have the excessive kerf of the miter saw. I am still learning to use the band saw, so the cuts were not as clean as I would have liked. The oils in the Blackwood proved to be challenging as well, even with epoxy it was a bear to get it to stick together. I also have some links to other turnings from today below (click the images to embiggen), a blue & white acrylic with platinum hardware, cocobolo gold slim line, and a green dyed tiger maple with chrome slime line hardware...

yes, I had a bit of green tint from another project and applied it direct with a paper towel...probably not the best way, but it seemed to work pretty well. The tiger maple is somewhat boring by itself.
