Looking for a Past Design

[Fine Engineer]

I'm hoping someone here remembers this pen and can lead me to the photos or post of it. I have seen this a couple of times, and want to try making the design myself, but can't seem to find it now that I need it (a familiar dilemma).

It was done in stark black and white (ebony and synthetic ivory or something similar). It looked like the blank was segmented on a diagonal, then cut into 4 sections and each turned 90° or something like that. I think the pattern was duplicated on the top and bottom sections of the pen. I could swear it was a Skiprat design, but a search of this site and his turned up nothing.

Does this ring a bell with anyone? Any idea who did it, or where a photo of it may be? Any help would be much appreciated.

A Segmented Panache Pen

Here is a segmented Panache pen with a black chrome kit, holly and gabon ebony blank with aluminum rings and black and white plastic dots. Finished in CA and polished. I also included a couple photos of the blank parts before glued together to get an idea how the design looks before turned. The...

If it is mine that Rod linked to, and you want any questions answered, feel free to post and I will be glad to assist in any way. Some questions were answered within that thread. As I closed that thread out I did mention that was the last pen that came out of my shop and it was. The kitchen and bath project got done by Feb. The last project that I have contractors coming in for is to refinish 2 rooms with oak floors. They come next week. Then I have some surgery to lock in and hopefully will be able to play in my shop this winter. Have some cool pen designs to make that I think will be liked by some here. Variety of segmented, casted and also some straight forward beautiful wood pens. One pen I used some material that should bring back some memories of the older members here that was popular back then. Stay tuned.

It is tough to describe. Think of doing a normal miter cut on a blank, so that say the top is black and the bottom is white with a 45° cut separating the two. Then cut it lengthwise into 4 parts. Then rotate each of the ~1/4" x 1/4" x 5-1/4" sticks and reglue them back together to form a blank. I hope that helps.

I think there may have been more to it than that which is why I want to find the photo.

Sorry but you did not read all the replys and click all the links.

So once again is this the one you are looking for? Also check out my reply #6 in this thread.

That's it! Thanks. And I apologize for attributing this to another pan maker.
Mine won't be quite as intricate as this, but I really liked the idea.

I was on the right track with the cuts, but the curves after turning threw me. Mine is maple and black walnut, and will be used for a Diamond Knurl kit. I'll post pics when it's finished.

Thanks again.

Look forward to seeing it.
