Here's my first attempt at segmentation with aluminum. I used curly Koa, curly Maple, and soda-can aluminum on a Jr. Gent Rhodium FP. Finish is CA micromeshed the whole way up. It still has the kit nib in it, but I am going to upgrade it to a Heritance nib. I made this pen for my birthday present - I've always wanted a fountain pen!:)

The pink pen I made for my little sister - she's pretty pleased!:biggrin: The tubes are painted with Rustoleum BrightCoat Satin Aluminum paint.

Looking good there Chris! I'm sure that will be the first of many.
My wife likes that segment design! Looks like I need to get one going soon!

The first pen looks fantastic, great design on the segments. Truly a keeper! The second one is really sweet and attractive, very lucky sister.

Thanks for the comments!:highfive:

I've already got one just waiting for the final shaping and finishing, and another more ambitious one planned for a Father's Day present.:good:

You got a really nice birthday present

Yeah, I think so too...:wink:

It isn't quite perfect - the cap especially - but I've learned from it, and hope the next one turns out even better.
