Latest Segmented Blanks

[wood128]

Here are ten of my latest segmented pen blanks that I have constructed in the past few months during the virus stay at home time. They are made of wood, veneer and acrylic material. The patterns are brick, herringbone, celtic knot, square inserts , reversed spiral and two unnamed others. Comments are welcome.

BEAUTIFUL blanks, Joe !!!! . You have really turned blank-making into an art !!

Lovely artistry! I am currently working with the window pane design, so your third from the left is intriguing. The multiple triangle - 5 from the left is also awesome.

Well done, and I really appreciate your creativity; much inspiration!

You do not get the credit you deserve for your segmenting skills/designs. Just my opinion.

Be well Joe!

I made 3 blanks with the square inserts , one blank with four piece square inserts and two blanks with 9 piece square inserts. The most difficult part for me was cutting those small sticks and gluing them together maintaining squareness.

Also constructed 6 , all a little different , of scalloped blanks . The scallops are cut/glued on both ends of a square blank , then the blank is cut in half , rotated end to end and glued back together with different center configurations . I am using wood and the beautiful acrylic material , which cuts/sands easy and polishes with steelwool. One of the blanks is made with drilling two circles , turning the same size dowels

and then gluing together.

Thanks Mark. The window pane blank has about seven layers of different colored veneer around the pane ....I think it kind of makes the pane jump out !!! Fun Fun Fun !!!!!!!!

Those are awesome! You have definitely shown that with segmenting that the sky is the limit.

Do you have any videos or instructions on how to do some of these, that you would be willing to share with use beginners?

No , I have not made any videos on segmenting, but there are two tutorials in the IAP library that I helped write. Also, I would always answer any questions to help one get started on any of my segmented pen blank designs.

Those are beautiful Joe. A lot of inspiring designs in those.

It's always nice to see such diversity. Be well.

Those are some beautiful blanks Joe. Your segmenting skill is fabulous.
Those herringbone blanks look very clean and well executed.

 

[johncrane]

[Larryreitz]

Those are awesome to say the least. The artistry, skill, and patience needed to do that work is more than awesome. To me it's mind boggling!

Wish l cud do a half as good as them blanks

 

[derekdd]

Wow, that's some serious precision.

Well done!

I have made 1000,s of segmented glue joints but they are all in quite large bowls. I can't imagine the skill and patience one would need to replicate the pieces you make .
It is said that anything that exists can be cut in half but the smaller the pieces get the effort gets exponentially harder.
Your work is truly exceptional .......... BRAVO MAESTRO

Amazing blanks! Thanks for sharing.

I did not notice that this thread is 3 years old - doesn't make a bit of difference. The blanks are still amazing!

 

[Woodchipper]

Awesome wouldn't describe my reaction. I'm thinking your cutting technique and tools are turning out some precise angles, etc. Tutorial video would be much appreciated by the group.
