First segment and stopper

[spaceengravers]

Here's my first "segmented" pen. It's simple but I wanted to try it out. Turned out pretty good. The stopper obviously isn't a pen, but since I did them at the same time, i thought I'd just put them both in here for comments.

Pen: Bocote with Lacewood stripes in a gold cigar from Wood-N-Whimsies
Stopper: Piece of burl from unknown wood found in Oklahoma and chrome stopper from IAP member trade.

Thanks in advance for the comments.

Nice Stopper, I like the wood, also the pen is pretty sharp as well, but I really like the wood on the stopper.

I like the wood in the stopper as well. I don't know what kind it is...It was just an old stump I found in OK last time I was home and pulled off the outside layer...Was my first time really trying to turn a piece of burl...had to do some filling with thick CA to fill some holes but otherwise it turned out really pretty...though you couldn't tell it before turning...

Looking good. The wood the stopper is made of is really nice.

Both the pen and stopper are well made, I like the shapes you gave them too!
