Bash Segmented 3rd place

[John Eldeen]

Thank you to everyone for your votes and thank you Mark for running this contest.
This one I am calling the Electricians pen as it is made using 10 gage, 12 gage, and 14 gage electrical wire. The wood in this blank is katalox and the kit is a copper Elegant Sierra. As you can see from the photos it this is the second try the first try there was a catch. Unfortunately the catch was completely my fault taking to big of a cut of which means I have no one to blame but myself but in the end it was a good thing the second one was more accurate than the first so there is that.

That took some time for sure. Like the end results. One segmented pen I will not be trying anytime soon. The jig worked well. Had my vote too.

John, I'm curious about the oak "cowling" around your dead center. Care to clue us in?

I am a lefty so I made that so it was easier for me to turn the pen blank with my right hand while working with my left hand on thing like sanding.

John, at first glance your dots look a bit random, but on second look they are very precisely placed with the different guage sizes adding to the whole pattern. I like the pen a lot and can appreciate the amount of detail and work involved. Kudos to you.
