Keep as is or redo upper barrel

[Larryreitz]

I have been wondering for a while about doing a pen with different upper and lower barrels. Shown below is a "partially" segmented Diamond Knurl roller ball. The upper is brown mallee burl with a good bit of sapwood. The lower is the same blank with more heartwood and is segmented with copper and black walnut. My question is: would you keep it as is or redo the upper barrel with segments? I'm really interested in what the IAP memberships thinks. Thanks in advance.

I agree just leave it as it is looks great.

I too agree, leave as is. Nice pen.

I would not redo it. While I prefer matching upper/lower blanks with the segmenting, It looks very attractive as is. Nice combination.

Leave it as it is . Nice combination. and it works .

Next time try something else and you can mix 'n match to see what appeals to you.
