Would You Call This Segmented???

[MIKL]

Another play on Worthless Wood, Aluminum and Watch Parts

This time i sandwiched a piece of West Australian Jarrah between 2 Red Mallee Burl edges, not sure if this is classified as segmented or not

i have also included a picture of the blank precast

Let me know what your thoughts are

C&C welcome

I'd for sure say that was segmented.

Oh, and thanks for stealing 1 of my future ideas. I was planning on thinking of that next week.:wink:

But seriously, that is a very cool idea. And it does give me some ideas. That's probably the most interesting looking mecha blank I've seen yet. Good job! :good:

thanks for the feedback mate

it was a bit tough reading your mind, there is only 9,180 miles between us, but i think i got the end result you were thinking of:biggrin:

Very cool! I think you should call it "Kitchen Sink"!

 

[Ronnie Breedlove]

I would call it intriguing but even then it defies a title or department. None the less it shows the builder's creative instincts to put together different media or components to accomplish an artistic blending of balance in pen making. This is a very real stand alone which I have not seen lately.... I would call it a trend setter.

Outstanding !!!

What more can I say. Truly outstanding!!!

Translation: I wish I'd thought of that.

[Janster]

...sweet! Is that a Vertex pen ? Keep em' coming and be well.......Jan

 

[Band Saw Box]

A fantastic job of segmenting. The finished pen is stunning, well done

 

[CrimsonKeel]

Really like the blank. I'm sure you stared at that piece of wood for days before figuring that one out.

 

[GaryMGg]

Superb looking.

 

[MIKL]

Thanks for the feedback Guys

i am in 2 minds, segmented or not, it's really only 3 bits of wood stuck together... damn just had a new idea, a celtic knot without the main part (that doesn't sound right but i am sure you know what i mean), now to work out how to do it..... i can feel a migraine coming already:biggrin:

Jan - its a magnetic cap similar to the Zen

all the best

[Dan Hintz]

I'd call it "awesome"... impressive work coming out of your shop, Mik.

 

[donwatson]

A truly inspirational piece. Wish I had thought of that. Don

 

[MIKL]

Outstanding! Beautifully executed! How about the next one having wood each end and a river of cogs in the middle?
