Retry at Segmented scalloped closed end roller ball

[Ruby pen turning]

This is the first pen made using my new Grizzly band saw and I have to say with thas new saw, making segmented pens will now be more fun, accurate AND safe. I did not use any metals or pins in this one just straight wood. The woods are Koa cut in half with maple burl and Cocobolo sandwiched between and epoxied together. The bands are Cocobolo and the final is Cocobolo. The finish is around 10 coats CA sanded and sanded again through all the pretty colored pads then finally polished with Novus heavy and light scratch removers.
Thanks for looking. Any comments critiques welcome.

I can see it clearly now. That looks like you knew what you were doing there. What angle are those scallops cut on? The look really long.

Thanks for showing it

PHil... The scallops are on the 60 degree on my push thingy on the band saw.

Robert, there is no dye used just Koa, maple burl and Cocobolo all natural.

Looks so amazing without aluminum or brass! This might be the way to go...?

No way Tim... Aluminum and brass really makes a pen POP. I just like making all wood or wood and resin and skip the aggravation of stuff falling apart:biggrin:
