I have put together a Cigar pen made of Maple and Bloodwood. I don't know the proper name of the segmented design. Is there a proper name for the segment? Also any thoughts you have on the pen are appreciated. Thanks Mark.

Mike, the chevron is 1/2 of a celtic knot. I use 3 pieces of wood separated by maple veneer and insert that into the knot, cut at a angle in the center. It's easier to show than it is to explain, I hope that gives you a general idea.

<br />Nicely Done! I like the way the looks.
I would be very careful calling any design a "Chevron". I believe there is a rather large corporation out there by that name?
I too like the second one.

I would not be too concerned calling any design a "Chevron". I believe Military NCO sleeve ranks or "Stripes" also some times refered to as "Hooks" and more commonly called "Chevrons" may have been around longer than the large corporation who probably got the idea of the "Chevron" from the Military in the first place.
