Segmented Celtic Pen

[williamcr]

Here is my first attempt at a segmented pen blank. I used Rosewood and Maple with soda can as aluminium accent between the layers on a Celtic Elegence pen which is just a Sierra pen with a fancy center band. The only part I could have done better was how you can see the saw cuts between the layers. Critics welcome.

Nice job. I can't see anything wrong with the cuts in the photo.

Guess I'm gonna need a new set of eyeglasses, cause I don't see no stinkin' saw cuts


What did you use to bond the soda can to the wood? And did it try to seperate during turning?




Like the curves, and the timbers are quite contrasting.

Looks good to me. I like it. Its a little different. I like the flow and the color contrast in the woods.

Looks great to me and I don't see anything wrong with the cuts at all. Sweet pen.

I used medium CA to hold it all together and it was really easy to turn. I had tried it once before with about twice as thick aluminum and it did come apart on me.

Now everything will start looking like it should be cut up. Looks fantastic
