Angled seg experiment

[alamocdc]

It ain't bentwood and it ain't as pretty as others you may have seen, but I had a request for a FP made from a piece of Cherry that once grew on the buyer's property. It was rather plain grained and me being different, I decided to spruce it up a bit with some Walnut (after I asked him if he'd mind, of course). Took me about a week as I could only get in about three cuts and reglues per night. I'll post the results when I get it turned in the next few days. I just like the look of it so I thought I'd throw it up for those who may be interested.

Editited by request

I'll bet that will make one sweet looking pen.

please do post your results and If I may request, please post as blank and pen in a kind of "take this and make this" sort of way.

Goshh lot of cut in it, hope you still have all your fingers[], thanks to post the pic of the blank, good idea, I will wait to see the result in a pen shape

Interesting blank Billy. Please post a pix of the finished pen by it when you are through. I still lack the ability to visualize what the pen will look like based on the lamination. Looking forward to seeing the end product.

THAT should make for an interesting pen! []
Can't wait to see the results.

That is going to be impressive! Can't wait to see it finished.

Billy, that sounds like a painful way to create a blank, but if you're able to create such a neat looking blank by these methods, I can't wait to see what you can do with your hands! []

The pen should be pretty cool; I'm anxious to see it! Thanks for sharing the blank, too.

LOL!! [] Sorry, Jim, bad choice of words I guess.

Thanks, all! I hope to get it turned this weekend. It will go on a Baron. He wants antoher FP (10K CSUSA type) in the same Cherry for his daugther. It too will be a glue up, but will not be as ornate.

So where's the pen already[?][][][][}][:0]

 

[Ligget]

Yep, can`t wait to see pics of finished pen. You have put a lot of work into that piece of wood!![][]

 

[atvrules1]

Just waiting for the finished product. I have some cherry taken from my dad's property that might need to have the same treatment. I also have a few pieces of walnut. Just want to see the result before I go to that kind of work.

Billy tried to confuse us by posting the final result in another thread. If I can figure out how to do it, I will put a copy of the picture here as well??

Sorry, Alan! Thanks, Randy!
