These are pics of the pen I made in the tutorial.

Appreciate any comments or feedback on the tutorial (and the pen too!).

Good job.

Thank you.


I guess I may have to invest in a scroll saw one of these days, huh?

Hi, thanks for all the time you put into this, very informative. I have to re-visit those type of segments. You have inspired me. I have done a few using the swirl method, but never thought of using metal in between the segments. I was always after the contrasts of differing colored woods. Carl

Great Job

Thanks for taking the time to put together the tutorial. You did a great job on it. You do a great job on your segmenting work, so thank for sharing your techniques with us. I plan on giving that a try after I get a few commission pens out of the shop.

Great work on the pen and the tutorial. I will have to try it out soon. Would cutting on a bandsaw with a circle jig work?

Thanks for the tutorial. Very informative, I've been working on some designs for this for sometime now, just not set up for drilling exactly in the center of the blank, so havent turned any.

Thanks for the tutorial. I have been wanting to try something like that.

Thanks for all the good comments, I was happy to do the tutorial and share with everyone.

John, not sure on the bandsaw. The blade is going to be much thicker so you would have to figure out the size of metal you would need and you wouldn't need the circle cutter. Just get the smallest blade you can get for your bandsaw and freehand cut your design out.

Thanks Dave, you are to be highly commended for the excellent tutoral and the resulting pens you have made. I have given segmented a try, but have not been successful. I certainly believe you have put me on the path of success. Thanks loads.
