Segmented pen

[dougle40]

This is a SL made from the left over trimmings from a segmented bowl blank that I glued up but just couldn't throw away .
The woods are , Aspen and Purpleheart with a PH band .

Doug,
Again, great pen! I like the custom CB, and the colors look nice together.

 

[smoky10]

Great looking pen. I like the home made centerband.

[cigarman]

Nice color combo. And a great job on the pen.

 

[PenWorks]

[Gary]

Very nicely done!

Doug, very nice! I like the colors also.

Nice job. I'm not a big fan of fat Slimlines...they are supposed to be...well...slim. The center band helps a lot!! I also like the fact that the different segments are different lengths. I have seen pens where the segments were the same size and they looked like sick Zebras.

Another very subtle point that appeals to me is that the end of the clip lines up with a glue lined...or atleasst very close. Don't think it would have looked ad good the other way??

Great work. Fine looking pen.

 

[KKingery]

Nice job! I like the shape you gave it.

 

[dougle40]

Thanks all . The only thing I can say is that Aspen is a b***h to work with . I had to do most of the final shaping by hand with sandpaper in order to get a smooth surface .

Nice job... Great looking centerband there. I like it.

 

[Fleabit]

Good job on the segmenting. The glue lines are tight! Nice pen too.

Nicely done, Doug. I like the centerband and the contrast of the two woods works well.

 

[Mudder]

Doug,

That is a very striking pen.
I not a fan of fat pens with beads and coves but that is just me.

Yours is a pen that is making me re-think that.

Thanks for sharing and giving inspiration.

 

[jdavis]

Doug,

The pen looks very nice...how about showing us the bowl, too?

 

[dougle40]

how about showing us the bowl, too?

I'd love to but it "blew up" slightly during turning and I haven't figured a way to save it yet !![:I][]
