Random segments rollerball with custom finial and center band.

[JohnU]

It's been a while and I needed to make some new demo examples for my upcoming MPG demo on custom finials and center bands. I'd like to take credit for the blank but I was visiting Dick Sing a few days ago and he gave me a block of "busy block" which was sold years ago commercially of wood pieces all glued together. I took a slice off of it to make the pen. With multi directional grain I used plenty of ultra thin CA to help stabilize it. I like the end results. Will probably make a few more. All comments welcome.
Thanks.

Great looking pen.

I always prefer when the stock cabuchon is replaced by a piece of the material used for the barrels. Nice touch doing the cap band too
