I got interested in trying to make a segmented wooden pen following a tutorial from the pen maker's guild. I ended up making the 3 pens shown below. The two Wall Street II pens were originally intended to be the top and bottom of a Jr Gent II but after glueing and sanding I was worried about the thickness with the larger drill bits so I decided to make each piece into a seperate pen.
The Jr. Gent II segmented pen started out with 4 wooden blanks glued together lenghwise. Then after doing a diagonal cut I realized I couldn't flip it like I was imagining so I glued it together in sorta a diamond shape and then cutoff the furthest edges and flipped them over and glued them back to the lower side...then added a couple ebony slices to the cap. It's not as perfect as I'd like but I'm really happy with the results.
Now I need to find out how to attach the photos as thumbnails like everyone else.
Thanks for looking,
