Pens with baltic birch plywood

[Lalen]

I am new to pen turning, about a couple of months in so still practicing with a lot of slimline to keep costs down. Had an idea to use some scrap baltic birch plywood and show off the lamination. they came out pretty cool I think. I used CA glue for the finishing.

Very nicely done!

Another step can be to dye the blank before finishing. It would be interesting to see what some colors fo on this Baltic Birch!

Well Done, Lalen.
Intriguing Results with the Plywood Blanks.
The 45 Deg Blanks creates a very pleasing result.
IMHO, I would like to see the Pen turned without a "Wasp" Waist.

Thanks for the feedback. good point on the wasp waist. These were a test on a slimline. I found as it got smaller, the laminations wanted to chip out so I kept the middle somewhat thicker. I want to try it on a larger diameter pen at some point.
