This is my first try at diamonds, not perfect, but close.

Super nice pen !!!
Now, please tell us how you cut those diamonds so accurately !!
I just took two cherry pen blanks, glued a contrasting strip between them and after it dried, cut 1/4 inch strips at 30 degrees. Those strips were then arranged and glued back together. New pen blank then just cut out of the glue up, making sure it was cut right at the diamond ends.

LOL, yup, don't overthunk it!
I look at the top - to - bottom alignment, and the left - to- right alignment. Yours are excellent.! The minor glue line on the top left hand side, is exactly that - MINOR. I do understand how you are constructing these, and there will be occasional glue lines at the angles - No biggie, and you have only one that I can see. - Superb execution. A glue line is just a brush stroke for Michelangelo... well tolerated! . I hope you do many more!
And you did it all on your Home Depot table saw!! Tell me you didn't?!?! What is that Sierra kit, by the way??
Diamonds are forever. Another great example of segmenting. You are making me hit the shop and turn another pen or two. I can see this. My diamond idea is a little different but still is diamonds. I will see if I can sneak some time in. Right now I am cutting money into puzzles

Can't wait to see yours, as you're pens always inspire me. Laying in bed last night, I thought of a different method for diamonds that I want to try.
