Random Segments

Today, I was experimenting with Maple Burl, Buffalo Horn and a small amount of Purple Heart with aluminum spacers. I was pleased with the results, be have some ideas on how to do it better in the future.

Now that's cool.

pretty cool. The contrasting colors work well together. My only thing is I think a chrome/rhodium kit would match up better with the aluminum spacers. Can't wait to see your next one though!

Nice work! I haven't tried any random segmenting yet but need to give it a try.

Thank you for the feedback. Thought the maple would look better with the gold and didn't consider using chrome or rhodium, but makes sense.

The maple and other woods/horn go great with the gold, just not the aluminum. I wonder how brass spacers would look or even copper. Brass might clash with the maple but only one way to find out :biggrin:

Very Cool!

Looks very good and I like the wood selections, but one minor suggestion as touched on above regarding the metals.

Keep a stock of aluminum, brass, and copper on hand. Brass or copper are a little better match to any of the gold colored kits (gold, titanium, copper, satin, etc...) while aluminum looks better with any of the silver/chrome/rhodium kits.
