First BASIC segmented pen!

[brookswife803]

Okay so some of you have already seen this on the PITH pics thread but what can I say I'm excited! Here it is. Some of the pics are with the pen open and some are closed to show that due to sheer luck it worked that when open the red and red match and yet when closed the colors alternate. Wish I had thought about that prior to making it so I could honestly say thats what I meant to do but alas it was not. Happy it happened though!

Cool Shea. Now tell us which # pen this is for you?

Beautiful pen!

I've heard several glue preferences for acrylic segmenting, do you mind if I ask what you used and how it was to work with?

Hans, this pen would be number 5 total for me. Jonathon has turned a few more than that now. You should see the celtic knot he did last week. BEAUTIFUL! He just hasn't made it into an actual pen yet.

Greg, I used your plain jane medium CA with accelerator to glue up my pieces. I cut each piece on the band saw, sanded them flat, glued them up and let them sit for a day in the windowsill with the sun hitting them. Then it was just business as usual drilling the hole, glueing the tubes in and turning away. May just have been beginners luck so try a few things and see what works for you. Have fun! I sure did!

I hope mine turns out as nice as yours. I just did a segmented pen as well but working up the nerve to turn it.

Cool pen indeed Shea, a plainer background would be better in your pictures!

I actually thought the ornament sunk home the Christmas theme.
