Thx Darrin. the squares were 3/8 x 3/8 x 3/4. On the non-clip side, I turned it so the join was 1 veneer thick (to match)

Great work Colin. I am sure you enjoy creating these . I share your interest. I don't make many pens anymore . My interest is on creating different geometric designed segmented pen blanks, each one different , for the penmakers .I share a few photos of my recent work. Have you tried the reversed spiral design ? The wood at the top of the blank , 3rd from top is Australian Pine

The square is where the blank starts, slightly oversize. With the purple one, 2 x three segments were glued together, flush 1 end & then veneered. These 2 were glued to the square (oblong really) to form a V. The outside then sanded flush & veneered. Then, simply built up with alternating segments.
Be as neat and precise as possible, the boring of the blank for the tube is the hard part.

These look great, I know what you mean about 1offs, I did 10 recently of same and it killed me. So, ive ~ done the top 2, nothing like #3 and a single direction 4th.
My version of #1 only has 1 square though.
You know the 6 sided herringbone i assume, I was thinking about making one, but with 'squares'. If my mind isn't playing games ,it should look diamond lay tiles aka snakeskin even. Interested in your thoughts ?
