Just a thought that I hope others will voice an opinion on and maybe some action can be taken or maybe not. I would like to see a seperate forum dedicated to segmenting. I know there is an Advanced pen making forum but there are too many other topics in there. This would include just segmenting of any kind. Any segmenting work such as process or questions can be directed to individuals here. Pens done with segmenting can be shown here.
I am fascinated with this aspect of pen blank making and it opens so many possibilities that I think not enough people try it here. I get very bored at looking at nice colored acrylic blanks and plain wood blanks. Yes some have nice spalting and grain patterns and that is OK but I think we need to challenge ourselves more and segmenting is a way to do this.
I would hope the Gisis would join in and share their techniques abit too. Skiprat has been a great influence in this area as well as some others. I feel it would be beneficial to be able to go to one particular place to see and discuss this aspect of pen making.
What say you all
