New ideas and new wrap patterns

[Ted Sachs]

I've been working on some new ideas. One of them is a hybrid sort of thread wrapped blank. I've also been doing some new patterns that are a little more intense looking. Feedback would be appreciated y'all. I'm trying to find out what's going to be more popular. The "hybrid" picture is one I was trying with a failed blank casting. It has bubbles next to the thread wrap so I used it to see if I could mate wood ends to the cast part. The other pics are just some new patterns.

May not help you much, but all are beautiful.

The blank with segmented wood ends is a great idea. The red, white,blue is my least favorite. Maybe if the blue went further into the red chevron. The rest are very impressive. Number 4 edges out the others as my favorite.

I'm jealous of you people that can do such beautiful imaginative work.

I accidently put up a picture of #4 before it was closed in all of the way. It looks a lot better after it was closed.

Great wraps Ted!

Thanks y'all. Just having fun now since I turned over the casting part to someone else
Now I can just sit back and wrap away. I can get a lot more done now. I'm slowly but surely stepping up my game. I've got a couple of up and comers breathing down my neck. LOL

I'm not the biggest fan of hybrid blanks, but you just took it to a whole new level! I think it looks more like a segmented blank than wood & resin which makes it very appealing to me, I love it. The others are great too, but 4 really pops, it caught my eye right away and is my favorite of the bunch.

Ted, the picture on the right looks like a really bright light - a star lite!!
These all are amazing. Thanks for showing.
Hope you can join us for our Alamo Penturners meeting tomorrow (Thur) nite.
Woodcraft at 6:30. If you can, please bring some of these examples to show.
As discussed before, maybe we can coax a demo out of you for a future meeting??
Keep us drooling with your pictures.
Gordon

Very nice. I like to see two hobbies blend together. Great work!

I'll get four Aaron type pens from these two. I just finished wrapping the last tube tonight and will cut them to length in the morning.
