Segmented Pen & Custom Pins

[SteveAxelrod]

The pen kit is a PSI "Vesper" and the pen blanks were Stabilized Blue Box Elder & Clear Box Elder Burl. The custom pins were made from an aluminum tube with a brass rod inside and the aluminum spacers from a thin sheet of aluminum. I didn't have any truoble turning either with my carbide tools.

Thanks to LL Woodworks Lynn Lacey for his post on 5/14 "Segmented Jr Gent II" that served as inspiration (last photo).

I like what you have done with those blanks, Steve !!!! . Now try spacing 6 or 8 pins uniformly around the circumference of the pen !!!

Thanks! I think 4 posts around the top and bottom circumference looks nice and symmetrical. Eight posts would almost be like "bling"! ;o)

Very nicely done.

Very nice job indeed! The segmenting and pins look spot on!

They look great Steve and thanks for the acknowledgement.

Pens look really nice. Just curious what your opinion is of the Vesper, does it seem to be of pretty decent quality, with a nice clicker?

Thanks,

Bill
