Wild Segment!!

[neon007]

Here is a segmented baron w/black Ti plating. the woods are Bloodwood and curly maple. They are split up by some Camphor burl and dyed black veneer. This was without a doubt the hardest segmented pen I have done. I got the idea from the morning after tutorial. Hope everyone likes it. Thanks for looking. Please all comments are welcome and needed so I can improve. Thanks. Sorry about the finger prints. Got a bit excited and forgot to wipe it down.

good loking pen. Which wood is the white one?

 

[neon007]

Thanks. The white wood is curly maple.

Nice work. The segments look very precise. I think either your exposure or white balance is off because I've never seen maple that white before.

Wow, beautiful segmenting, very nicely laid out. The coloring is great, I wish I could pull that kind of thing off! []

Great use of small pieces!!

 

[gwilki]

Fine piece of work, Keith. You have much more patience that I have.

I love the pen but I don`t like the black background, it is too dark especially when looking for the pen finial.[8D]

Thanks everyone. Your comments are greatly appreciated.

Nicely done Keith.
One thing I like about this method is that there is no end to the designs and changes that can be made.
If I may ask.....When you say "black dyed veneer" is it something you did yourself? Care to share a source if purchased? Care to share some "black dyed veneer" for blanks if you did it?[)]

Really does look a lot like a "morning after". Nice job!!!

Ron,
Woodcraft sells packs of various dyed veneer colors pretty reasonably.

Ron,
As Gary said I got it from Woodcraft. Although I have to argue on the reasonable part. They were a bit on the steep side.
