Closed Segmented Atrax

[alphageek]

A followup to yesterday's pen. This one is walnut, maple and paduek. I'm very happy with the segmenting and managed to keep the paduek from bleeding do this one is a big win for me!

Looks good. I really like the Atrax kit. My wife said it had a postable lid it will be perfect.

Great looking pen. I do think this is the first Atrax closed end I have seen. Did you use a veneer? Maple? I think Paduak makes for a perfect segmenting wood as it has little grain but lots of reddish color.

Yes, the maple is a veneer. I've got tons of it as I picked up a pack of it cheap at a Rockler once. Wish I had a source for more of it cheap in other colors. I have some others, but they aren't cheap. I want to find veneer in walnut, paduek and something black wood someday. (or I will have to convince one of the guys in my club with a really good bandsaw to make some for me).
