Todd asked if I had any pictures of the pen I sent him in the transformation swap, so I figured I'd post them up here.

The main pen body is Desert Ironwood. The dividers between the segments in the cap are some sort of palm I think and the blue at best guess is maybe corian? He would have to confirm the segmented material as I just picked pieces out of the box he sent me that I thought would work well together.

The blue is commercial PVC Pipe. The top and bottom segments are lacewood but I'm not 100% positive if the horizontal bands are the same or one of the other pieces I sent along (I forget exactly what they all were....)

The pen is spectacular, Fit and finish are perfect, and there is supper cool stand he made from a chunk of bark and soapstone I sent him that he did not post photos of. I'm going to take some photos also and will post them in a bit!!!

I never would have guessed that to be PVC, especially in a blank that thick :biggrin:

I was also sure it was palm that i used in the segments since it was made up of reeds of sorts. I could be wrong though, maybe I was going to use the palm and ended up with the other because of the color match.

I forgot to take pictures of the stand with the pen.

Was a very fun pen to make. Glad Todd was happy with the end result!

Here are a few shots with the stand, and a close up of the segments. I'm pretty sure this pattern is from lacewood, tho I could be wrong...
