Latest Adventure in Segmenting

[Alzey]

This is my latest attempt in segmenting. It is various woods segmented with 3/32 inch yellowheart. It is based on the random segmenting article in the library. I have 5 more blanks from this block and another group with metal segments curing in the clamps.

Comments welcome as it makes us all better craftsman.

I really like the segmenting but the slim pen is to fat.

It looks good a little overturned but really nice segmenting

This does not look like a slimline pen it looks like it is a trimline which will be a little bigger. just my observation

Pretty cool with the Yellowheart in between each piece of segmented timber...gives it some uniforming look to the different piece. F-n-F look great!!!



Did you make a jig for your table saw to do this, or are you just being careful with the cuts on a bandsaw?

Its easy to see that you devoted quite a bit of time into this pen and I think that its awesome!

I have sled with an adjustable fence on my band saw. I use 2 block of wood to hold the cutting piece so my hands are no where near the blade. I did have an issue where on slice fell through and landed in the guide rollers jamming the blade Had to unplug the saw so I could open it up an turn the wheels backwards by hand to get it out. Looks like its time to build a new sled so there is less clearance.

Here are 2 other pens I completed from the same the block. The slimline with the rubber grip was requested by my wife for birthday.

I like the different orientations between top and bottom. And I don't think it's too fat. There's a lot going on with all that wood--making it too slim would diminish that.
