Well, I should add that they are my favorites that "I have made". So many awesome pen makers here. The nice thing about being new to anything is that you can really see your improvements. With just about each new pen I make my newest favorite. These are made from Padauk, Cebil, and my old Visa card. Kind of a unique color for a credit card. I will definitely be segmenting with credit/gift cards in the future.

Really nice! I like these a lot. Did you use epoxy to glue your segments together or some other glue type? Well done!

I used thin CA, just holding the pieces by hand until the glue set. The adhesion was quite good, pretty quick and easy too. I also soaked the seems in thin CA a couple of times after the blanks were prepped to fill in any gaps. I did a little research and found that most credit or ID cards are made from PVC -- I might try to source some colored CA sheets for segmenting...
