first segemented pen

[hanau]

Thought i would play around today and try a segmented piece.
I learned a lot today.
1) make sure blanks are square
2) figure out a better way to cut small pieces. Using a band saw jig work ok, just need to figure out a better way to cut pieces square.
3) Lot of admiration for the guys and gals who does alot of segmented pieces.

looking at the front, clip is 189 degrees to the front,

turned 180 degrees and the figured out the blanks was not squared.

and always check and make sure all pieces are aligned up.

woods are
lace wood
ironwood
Bethlehem olive wood
