Is this Toms way of saying "nothing"[]

looks nice. did you use the table saw for segmenting?

 

[Texatdurango]

You're on your way, looking good.

Another good lookin' knot. Way to go.

Very Nice! I'm starting to have knot envy[]

That looks well done. The one thing I would recommend is using thinner wood. That looks to be at least 1/8" thick. I've found that 1/16" and even 1/32" actually look better. The thinner wood is more subtle and doesn't appear to be so overwhelming.

Yes I used a table saw for segmenting and was surprised at the ease of it.
Your are right about using thinner wood. My next pen (I hope) will be blackwood and some thin ivory.
