Some recent turnings

[twoofakind]

Here are a few of my recent turnings. The first is a segmented cocobolo/maple cigar

The second is a segmented sedona in rosewood/maple

The third is a fiddleback maple dyed blue

Wow. Very nice work on all of those. You did an excellent job with the segments and the segmented cigar has a nice shape.

 

[JimGo]

Those segments came out really funky! I like it!

I was following RonMc's advice and listening to music while I made those cuts and turned the pens. I did not realize how much it would effect the overall pen design, but it did.[]

I have to find out what kind of music you were listening to [].
They look really good. I do like the blue you were able to get on the Maple.

Jason,
The blue blank is from woodpenblanks.com from RonMC. I was listening to jazz on that particular day. When your foot starts tapping the creative juices just start flowing.[]

Still dont see how you cut that straight.

You're going to make me want to turn a cigar again... and I thought that was impossible, lol

 

[twoofakind]

Those started out as 4/4 lumber. I resawed them drum sanded, glued, drilled, mitered, glued, then turned. As much work as they were I plan on doing it all over again, I am a glutton for punishment I guess.[] When I see you at the next get together, remind me and I will show you an easy way to do it.

[Skye]

Sounds like a plan []

 

[NavyDiver]

Nice segments!

 

[kkwall]

Love the segmented pens. Nice clean cuts, and good wood combinations used.

 

[leatherjunkie]

the segments look great. will have to try that someday.
the segments in the first cigar made my eyes [B)]think it was bent alittle.
but on closer look its not bent.

good job on the finish also.

 

[skiprat]

Really, really nice. I think the first one is my favourite. Nice and sharp.[]
I've also never seen the second kit before, is that a hex shape on it.
Wish we could get stuff like that here[!]

 

[cueman]

Nice pens! I especially like the maple/cocobolo cigar

 

[Dario]

All look great but I like the first one the most.

 

[twoofakind]

skiprat- that is a Sedona kit from AS. It uses the same bushings as the Baron.
