First Herringbone 360!

[glycerine]

I made this blank a few weeks ago and finally turned it last night. I've figured out the herringbone 360!

Thank you.

Congrats! I really like your color choice! I assume that's Tru-stone, and what else?

 

[johncrane]

Excellent work

Actually, it's not even a tru-stone. It's just an acrylic blank that I picked up from Woodcraft. Looks like it though. The woods are Walnut and Maple.

Wow! Great job and great color/contrast selection.

 

[mbroberg]

That's a beautiful pen. Congratulations on solving the puzzle.

 

[bitshird]

Yup, I'd save you got it, and did a nice job with it also.

 

[Rollerbob]

Geez, can't believe nobody has asked the obvious question............where's the tutorial?:biggrin: Very nice job for sure!!:wink:

 

[Greg O'Sherwood]

I like it!!!

I think the size of your pieces are better than the one I did. Mine were much too small so the wood detail didn't show.

Well done!

 

[GaryMGg]

Most excellent workmanship and a great choice of colors.

Ha ha ha ha!!

I like it!!!

Well done!

I kept them fairly slim. I think they were not too much wider than 1/8 of an inch. Someone mentioned before that as you turn it the pieces will get "shorter", so if they are cut too wide, you'll end up with more of a square than a rectangle.

That's a real beauty! Well done.

Great looking pen. I'm happy to see that you decided to just go for it. The joints look good.

 

[broitblat]

Good looking pen/blank. I agree it is a very nice color combination and the workmanship on the blank looks great, too.

Yeah, once I turned it down to size, there were fewer gaps than I thought.

Great looking pen! Love the color choice!

 

[Jim15]

Awesome pen.

 

[Penl8the]

Congratulations!!! Yes you did. And it is an awesome design.

 

[VisExp]

Congratulations on figuring it out, that must have been very satisfying. The pen looks great.

 

[rjwolfe3]

That is gorgeous!

 

[glycerine]

Thanks again for the comments. Yes, it was satisfying. I like puzzles and without a tutorial, this was much like a puzzle for me. I love the way it looks and I think it will be a good seller once I actually get started selling some pens.
I'm curious from those that sell segmented pens, what would you charge for a herringbone design? I'm sure I was a little slow at it since it was my first, but I put many hours into it just making the blank...

I didn't see this when you first posted it. Just saw it now on the home page. What a beautiful piece of work! Finely crafted woods and truestone combination is spectacular:good::good:

 

[alphageek]

Somehow I missed this. Beautiful! One of my favorite HB by far! Congrats on the Front page!

 

[kirkfranks]

Me 3 on missing it the first time around.
Glad this made the front page (congrats) so I can see it.

I really like what you did with the acrylic and two woods. Kind of makes it easier to see what is going on with the pattern than some all wood ones. Workmanship looks great.

 

[Penl8the]

Everyone please join the begging

Awesome pen. Absolutely beautiful!!!

I made this blank a few weeks ago and finally turned it last night. I've figured out the herringbone 360!

Yes, please do tell. Come on now everyone. Join the "begging".

There's got to be a statue of limitation on "teasing" for those who have successfully figured this out.

Still, it is an amazing pen.

Geez, can't believe nobody has asked the obvious question............where's the tutorial?:biggrin: Very nice job for sure!!:wink:

 

[Stevej72]

Very nice work!

 

[glycerine]

Thanks again for the comments! I was excited to log in this evening and see my pen on the main page!! As far as telling how it's done... I've been sworn to secrecy.

 

[Mrs Rojo22]

Congrats and BEAUTIFUL pen!

Love the colors!

[Rollerbob]

Jeremy, congrats on front page coverage!!

 

[Trevor]

beautiful work

 

[Fishrule]

Absolutely beautiful. I, too, would love to see a tutorial.

 

[skiprat]

A real beauty and well worthy of the cover shot:biggrin:

Please answer this question honestly.....

Don't you feel MUCH better and perhaps even a bit proud of yourself for figuring it out, rather than just following someone elses instructions:biggrin:
I'm willing to bet that you are:biggrin: Well done!!!
