The other lamination I did. Kingwood, elm, walnut.

Well Coach, the blank has a lot to be desired but man the finished product is awesome! I love creativity. Job well done. I like the other one you did as well. [^]

 

[JimGo]

I agree with Mark. Actually Coach, you're making me feel better, because that blank is how I envision my first several attempts!

 

[mikes pens]

Coach, did you glue the pieces together with woodworkers glue or was there a special wood glue you used?

Glued with ca. Don't go by what the blank looks like. It will turn down nice.

I'm impatient, so I don't wait long for the glue to set either.

Nice looking pen

Really nice pen Coach. Glad you showed the blank with that. I never done any laminations or segmenting yet. Never knew what the blanks looked like.

Impressive pen, Travis, well done!

Wow! The x lamination would be nice on a wedding pen. Looks like interconnected rings... Great job.

Travis,
Nice work, there's hope for me yet. I like playing around with laminations. I did one with about 5 or 6 different bright colored woods, for use in plugs in yellowheart, or bloodwood, for a friend. You'll have to give me all of the details on how to cross them and make them fit right.
Blessings.[]

Great looking pen. That's a good idea to take a picture of the blank before turning!

Nice job on both of your "mitre box" pens. Thanks for posting B4 and after pics.

 

[MDWine]

Excellent!!! That answers a few questions for me.... except one.

When will I get around to trying it???

Nice job, very nice pen indeed!

What's the old saying about not being able to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear??? Guess you have proved that one wrong, Coach. Nice pen!!

Coach, that is a nice looking pen. Good thing you aren't being graded on the lamination though.[8D]
