My son and his wife and grandkids are here from Calgary for thanksgiving weekend . So I took Ken out to my shop to show him how pens are made. The top one is Michelles and it is bocote with a maple band.
The bottom segmented one for Ken is birdseye maple , bocote, padauk, and yew with a maple band.
I did the top one with a friction finish and the bottom multi wood one with a WB laquer finish just to demonstrate the two different procedures. I had my first ever drilling blowout with a segmented pen and had to start over. Luckily I had glued up a bunch of blanks this afternoon so I was able to continue..
