A Pair of Segmented Ultra Cigars

[John Eldeen]

Today for your viewing pleasure we have a couple of Ultra Cigar pens wrapped in some segmented blanks. Enjoy
First with the green and yellow card stock separators is a mix of Monkeypod and spalted Jackfruit.
Next with blue card stock separators is a mix of Koa, Lychee, and some more spalted Jackfruit.

As always question, comments and critiques are welcome and encouraged.

Wow - those are a couple of great segmented pens. Thank you for posting.

 

[magpens]

Extremely beautiful and very well done !!! . Thank you for showing !!!

 

[Jim15]

Those are awesome.

For the green one, the basic segmentation pattern seems to repeat 4 times, going around the pen, and for the blue one, 8 times. . Am I correct ?

 

[LouCee]

Very nice! They both look great but I like the blue one best.

Yes Mal there are 4 strips of card stock on the green one and 8 on the blue one. The blue one is Koa, card stock, Lychee, card stock, and then repeat

I like the blue one as well but for me the diminishing angle on the scalps caped with a chevron just pulls my eye to it.

Your symmetry and precision are great. Love the vibrant colors.

I knew you use card stock, and one of the features unique to your segmenting is the vibrant colors - very nice touch.

These turned out real well. The colors do pop. There is alot of different types of segmenting involved there and all looks spot on. Job well done and thanks for showing.

These are beautiful!

In the blue one is it two different blues or does the edge of the card stock vary in color?

 

[MRDucks2]

Quite Nice.

Thank you Angela and yes there is 3 layers of blue and 2 layers of light blue stacked alternating colors with blue on the outside.

Those are awesome! I must be different because I like the green/yellow best. The colors of the stock with the wood is more appealing to my eye and with less segments it's not quite as busy. You killed it with both of them.

 

[Bryguy]

Terrific. What joyous colour combinations!

Charlie it is not my fault every time I make one I get 5 more ideas to try then before I get a chance to make any of those I come here and get more ideas looking at everyone else's work. I actually take notes with ideas because I can't remember them all. LOL

WOW!

The only thing that would make it better would be if you had a video showing the process you go through. It's beyond my skill set now as I'm just starting out, but I'd love to see these being made.

There are about 3 or 4 different segmenting techniques used an those pens and each one has been discussed here and there are write-ups in the library. When you want to try a certain technique just reference it and we all can help. With each techniques comes different methods and ways to accomplish them so one way is not always the way. You will find that in all aspects of pen making. But happy journey.

Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately as for videos I am pretty sure I have a face that was made more for radio and voice made for books. LOL
This might be past you skills now as it was for me as well but you will get there here is a link to a post where I explain my process in some detail.

Segmented and Grain Matched Rollerball

What you have here is a Caballero kit wrapped in Hawaiian Monkey Pod. I wanted to make a segmented pen, but I also wanted to turn this beautiful piece of monkey pod. Not wanting to just cut it up, ruining the beauty, I decided to attempt to have my cake and eat it too. So, I segmented it while...
