Aluminum and brass Triton FTN

[MikeL]

Segmented with brass and aluminum. The wood is African Blackwood and Brown Mallee Burl. The dots are aluminum tubes with brass in the middle of the tube. The finial is African Blackwood with matching aluminum/brass dot. The aluminum segment has a thin sheet of brass sandwiched between the aluminum. The brass was quite thin and ends up being hard to see (see close up). This pen took a lot of time but was fun. Thanks for looking. Mike

Looks great! Have you mentioned before how you create the round segmented portions in the middle of the blank? If so I'll go trolling the search function and find it.

There is some discussion on the "how" and there is some good advice from John T (jttheclockman) in that same thread. If you need more info I will be happy to share. Just let me know.

Thanks for the comments.

I found an old thread that employs a different variation of this pen but gives a good how to and his work looks much more complicated and awesome.
