Firewhatfire's pen really pushed me to create something out of my comfort zone.
My area of specialty is rare and exceptional burls and two tones. But, I also collect historic woods. I've never attempted segmenting before but here's what I made.
I took a piece of Oak from a 1850's schooner from Wiscasset, a piece of teak from the deck of the USS North Carolina, a piece of LV that was used to wrap the propeller shaft of the USS Mariposa-a troop transporter in the Pacific during WW2, and a piece of Angelique from another schooner-the Spirit of South Carolina. I joined them all together at 60 degrees and sandwiched a slice of brass between each, as a nod to the historic ships.
It is my first attempt at segmenting, let alone using metal between the pieces. The kit is a chrome Zen. Finish is 14 coats of CA.
