Excellent Collection of Pens Sue.

Please try to keep your First Pen, and Use it for Comparison to Monitor and Gauge your Progress over the coming Weeks, Months, and Years.

Perhaps you would like to reduce your blanks a little so that you reduce the Wasp Waist appearance, and Transition your blank more gradually to the Diameter of the Hardware.

The Segmented Blanks are Spectacular,
Did you do the Segmenting?
The Joints and Alignment of the Celtic Knots is Fantastic, and the Segmented Pen in the Segmented and Sawdust Photo is Superb

Congratulations, I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Brian.

Thanks for the comments!
Yes, all segmented pen blanks were my creation, with help from ideas found online. The 'wasp waist' was preferred by one of my friends. :) I have tried lots of different materials for segmenting, including soda cans, manilla file folders glued in layers, and veneer wood.
Having a blast! I have made over 200 pens in the last 6 months! :)
