Ruby pen turning
Member
I spent around 8 hrs today making this pen. I had a few problems with segments becoming unglued but not broke that could not be fixed.
The main body is Honduran Rosewood Burl with the sgments being Paduk and Fiddle back Maple for the scallops. I have incorperated aluminum and brass segments cut from sheets. There are also some tubes, 2 of them are hollow copper and filled with blue mica and the other filled with yellow mica. The bigger one is hollow aluminum and has a brass rod inserted that fit perfectly. I thought it would look good to have the hole that the live center made filled with blue mica and it did turn out good.
