I made this blank a few weeks ago and finally turned it last night. I've figured out the herringbone 360!

Geez, can't believe nobody has asked the obvious question............where's the tutorial?:biggrin: Very nice job for sure!!:wink:
 
I like it!!!

I think the size of your pieces are better than the one I did. Mine were much too small so the wood detail didn't show.

Well done!

I kept them fairly slim. I think they were not too much wider than 1/8 of an inch. Someone mentioned before that as you turn it the pieces will get "shorter", so if they are cut too wide, you'll end up with more of a square than a rectangle.
 
Thanks again for the comments. Yes, it was satisfying. I like puzzles and without a tutorial, this was much like a puzzle for me. I love the way it looks and I think it will be a good seller once I actually get started selling some pens.
I'm curious from those that sell segmented pens, what would you charge for a herringbone design? I'm sure I was a little slow at it since it was my first, but I put many hours into it just making the blank...
 
I didn't see this when you first posted it. Just saw it now on the home page. What a beautiful piece of work! Finely crafted woods and truestone combination is spectacular:good::good:
 
Me 3 on missing it the first time around.
Glad this made the front page (congrats) so I can see it.

I really like what you did with the acrylic and two woods. Kind of makes it easier to see what is going on with the pattern than some all wood ones. Workmanship looks great.
 
Everyone please join the begging

Awesome pen. Absolutely beautiful!!!

Yes, please do tell. Come on now everyone. Join the "begging".

There's got to be a statue of limitation on "teasing" for those who have successfully figured this out.

Still, it is an amazing pen.

Thanks again for the comments! I was excited to log in this evening and see my pen on the main page!! As far as telling how it's done... I've been sworn to secrecy.
 
A real beauty and well worthy of the cover shot:biggrin:

Please answer this question honestly.....

Don't you feel MUCH better and perhaps even a bit proud of yourself for figuring it out, rather than just following someone elses instructions:confused::biggrin:
I'm willing to bet that you are:biggrin: Well done!!!
