Got end cuts? This was fun to do. Took a shot and pieced together lots of different ends. Lots of CA, gloves, clamps, and the dust collector right up against the pieces so I wouldn't gag from the fumes. Cut on a 45* then prayed. Interesting drilling and feeling the different densities of the pieces. Same with the turning. That Zebrawood is tough stuff. Arranged in random order I had no idea how it would turn out. Hope you like it.

Very cool! When you mentioned the zebrawood, I thought, "Why not leave it out, if it is so much denser than the other woods?" I'm glad you didn't - it is so dramatic in the finished pens. Beautiful!

I like it !!! . I especially like the way you have marked and numbered the pieces ... helps to follow your work flow. . Now you have some more ends (triangles) to use up ... should be more fun.

Scraps and "worthless wood" can be used to make some of the coolest looking pens. Good job thinking outside the box and creating something truly amazing...

Great looking pen . Using cut-offs for segments is a nice change of pace and you got excellent results on this one.

Now that is the way to use end-cuts. NICE!

Now I have to keep even smaller pieces of wood that I normally throw away. Great job on the joints.

Very nice pen! It made me remember a quilt my grandmother made years ago.
