My rendition of FireWhatFire's segmented pen

[Mike D]

This is a pen made from a blank that FireWhatFire was kind enough to post a blog on his method.

My blank is made from Paduk, Rose Wood & Aluminum, assembled on a Craft USA Artisan Aero 10K Gold & Chrome, 10 coats of CA for the finish. Mine didn't turn out as good as Fire's but I know I can do it. This thing is a pain in the butt to turn but was fun doing it. Thanks for the road map Fire!
Thanks for viewing. C&C welcome.

That came out great, and you are right they are a pain in the butt.

Thank you Max! Yours looks better with the high contrast between the wood and the corian. I'll use different materials on the next on. I learned a lot on this one.

Little bitter on who gets credit on this design, but I'm happy to see others trying it and learning something. Great looking pen

Another great looking pen. Looks to be as nice as Max`s but his did have more contrast.

Sorry Wise1 I didn't see yours. Any rate thanks to all that have shown me the way on several segmented blanks, I've learned from the best here on IAP.

I like the segmenting. Maybe someday!

Thank you Seamus & Mike! I'm working on another one that'll have more contrast between the components.
