I especially appreciate this win...to me it's validation. I started turning about 6 yrs ago thinking I wouldn't do much but wanted a challenge. The biggest challenge in this craft is the fact that I have vision in only my left eye. Depth perception is a bear.... Try closing one eye while turning some time!
Thank you for your votes.

Dale:

For sure that pen has a lot of WOW!!!!!!

Your design was out standing and keeping the alignment made it happen.

My pen was in the middle of the pack which I was happy with, so being you raised the bar I better get on with it for the next go around.


Great work Dale.


Cheers

Charlie

Thank you for showing the side, I was also curious how that looked.
Excellent work, and well deserved win!
My segmented blank fell apart at the 11th hour, so I quickly made another at the last minute that obviously was no competition to the 3 winners.

I am impressed with how perfectly everything fit together. That can be difficult with those tiny squares.

Dale that is a great-looking segmented pen and a deserving winner. The pattern must have been time-consuming and you balanced it perfectly, which I'm learning is not an easy task, and overcame great challenges to get such an awesome result.

I made it to final round but not the top 3. I'll probably post it in a while to get feedback, but I was ecstatic just to get that far. Congratulations!
