Segmented Slimline Contest Entry

[NCWoodworker]

Hi all,
Here is the entry I submitted for the Segmented Slimline Contest. It is a rhodium slimline that is outfitted with maple, walnut, bubinga and macassar ebony.

My goal was to do something different, which was hard to do with only a week to get from design to finish. I'm not sure that the segments/laminations closest to the centerband were 'original', but that is the 'core' of my design. I was at least hoping it was something that has not been very common. In any case, I'm very honored to have even been able to compete with you all. The talent here is exceptional!!!



Thanks again!
Chris

Wow. I can't imagine how much work went into that pen. I don't know what you'd call that lamination effect, but I really like that one. I'm sure you're going to get several requests about how it was done

 

[Marc Phillips]

That's amazing... and it sure looks like a lot of work!

Great job...

Chris, that is just a mind blower. [:0][] Just superb!!!!!

Chris that is one fine pen. Love the lamintations/segmenting work near the centerband. If that is not original, I am sure you will get requests for a tutorial, so you might as well start putting one together..Glad to see you were a winner. That pen deserves it.

Chris,
That's a heck of a pen; The workmanship is great. The "core" reminds me of `Wavy, no gravy.'
The symmetry is splendid. Congratulations.

Chris,

Your pen is B-E-U-T-FUL!!!!!

However, I am assuming the "rhodium rollerball" was an insignificant mis"print"????????

OR, how does one modify a slimline to take the rollerball?????

Yes, I am picking nits, since you asked!!!

Wow...that pen could NEVER win this contest because it's just a lamination... I did segmentation, as the rules state [][] ...oh...not to mention that it's missing some pieces []
