Few Slimlines

[dbriski]

I made a few slimlines in the last few weeks.

Paduak with Cocobolo Centerband

Checkered Segmenting of Maple, Walnut, Purpleheart, and Paduak. I then Dyed some Maple strips in blue dye. It didn't penitrate as far as I hoped so I ended up re-applying after the turning and then burning lines on each side to accent them. I am a heck of a time finishing this guy I don't know why but it took me 3 days of trying to lay on a CA finish and just never took very well.

The second one is really nice looking. Thanks for showing them.

Great looking pens.

Nice pens! I like the cocobolo CB, and the second one is pretty radical [] I like em.

 

[Tanner]

They look nice. A lot of work on that second one. Nice job in hanging with it.

David,great pens and finish,the cb on the paduak looks like a gold band on top and bottom of the coco.,is that just the pic. or did you add something else?

The first one looks great, I'm not real crazy about the second one...

I love the finish and centerband on the Padauk David... I really need to follow your example and make my wood centerbands smaller...

The segmented pen didn't work for me... just too busy looking I guess []

Guts, that slight gold is actually unfortunatly a little bit of chipping on the finish when I separated it for assembly. The Paduak stained the CA a little orangish.

That segmented pen is really interesting. Good work. I like the coco centerband too.
