Fantastic pen James , especially since you used a coping saw to cut the segments . Very impressive !!!
PM Neil (wolftat) , he's a great guy and THE expert on these blanks . I'm sure he has a few tips for you .
Neil is a great guy and I agree the expert on these blanks. I will try to get him in a day or so. I like to try stuff on my own. You do have to pay attention when glueing up on these, I have another about half way done when I noticed I glued some out of order.
Thanks for the comment. Coming from someone like you means alot. With the jig I made it pretty much made it like a mitre sled so it wasnt too bad. With the small pieces I felt safer using that than my other options I have.
Very niec job on the pen, what kind of wood is it made from, aloha.

I am really at a loss. I believe maple. I'd have to show it to someone else to know for sure. It was 3 of what looked to be matching un Identified pen blanks. If I make another I will use a few different types of blanks to have a color variation.
Thanks for all the comments they are appreciated and help keep me motivated when I am trying new things.
