Segmented

[BKelley]

Just finished up with this Wall Street II. It is tiger stripped maple with redheart accents. I don't have a table saw, so the redwood inserts were kinda tricky. Anyone care to guess how it was cut? As always I appreciate your comments, pro or con.

Ben,

That is some beautiful work. No table saw, you say? Did you perhaps make a jig for a bandsaw? That looks too good to be hand cut with a miter box, but maybe with some careful sanding and fitting one could pull it off.

So what was the secret method?

 

[ChrisN]

Looks good! Did you do the cuts with a scrollsaw? chop saw?

First let me say that the segments look great. And so does the pen. Did you use a sliding chop saw? They look like you may have cut them at 45 degrees?

I like the work. Very well done and the cuts look precise so I would guess bandsaw and a jig to get the width. Thanks for showing. Simple yet elegant.

Great looking pen - could cut them on a router table with the right jig?

 

[skiprat]

I would say router too.
Looks good.:wink:

Don't know how you did it, Ben, but once again, your end result is terrific!

 

[Russknan]

Beautiful! Router? Russ

my guess would be with a router set up. very good looking pen by the way. nice color pairing.

Sorry, nobody wins the all expense paid trip to Paris. The cuts were made using a slitting blade on the milling machine. The blade is 1/8" x 5". There are a few problems to work out, but extremely precise cuts can be made using the mill.
Thanks for the interest in this project. Oh, by the way the finish is the Doctors Woodshop Pen + using walnut oil for a sanding lubricant.

:drink:Let's see; band saw, chop saw, Drill press with table on angle, two JD shots and luck.

I am thinking you need a couple more of those JD things Something about a day late and a dollar short

 

[mikespenturningz]

Nice job on that finish too Ben.
