Well done again. Did you just put the diamond at the bottom of the chevron and then put two chevrons together? When I did mine I wanted the "diamond" not to just be square, so it was actually four pieces glued to make the diamond shape.
It actually looks like your chevrons before adding the diamond would have about the same length as the final product. I'm just having a hard time "seeing" how you managed four of the sticks!
When I see the results you get with the colored veneer it makes me realize that I really need to get some of it! The color really adds to the effect.
Hi Steve, yes, mine was simply square, so I have used two ways.
1. Simply use the end of the chevrons that have the resulting 90 degree angle straight from the brick.
2. For this pen, I snapped 2 1/2" chevrons (before assembly, they were still 1/2 chevrons), and completed the chevrons.
For a non-square shape, your method is better I suspect.
In this picture, the assembly is the same as I used for the pen. Here I was trying to make a very long blank but the alignment was poor so the long pieces are rejects.
