I should say....first successful. I have been trying and have failed at making one of these segmented pen blanks. There is a whole bunch of time, patience and GREAT attention to detail required to make one of these. This one is still not correct but you can't see the other side! Drilling was just enough off center to have the lines touch towards the tip. Still have much to learn to be satisfied, but at least I was able to get one through to completion.:redface:
