Tightening my joins

[Alan Morrison]

I have gone back to tiny triangles for a while. My challenge in the past was my joins..... and trying not to glue my fingers together.
Here are some patterns using mahogany and maple triangles

They look pretty darn good to me.

very nice work, are these patterns end grain?

Mission accomplished!

Nice work Alan, best ones yet.

They look great.

They are all side grain, but not finished as they won't be going on a pen.

Looking good to me too!

Thanks, Hank.
I suppose that the biggest problem in the past was getting the triangles uniform, difficult because of the size of them.

Alan you have stepped your game up up considerably since you started this segmenting. Like what you are doing. I believe you had shown at one time your process to make these triangles this small. Maybe you could link that again. But also add a warning to the care that needs to be followed for safety reasons. Maybe we can even get a library tutorial if you di not already. Thanks.

Thanks, John.
I have changed my method from that previous process but will photograph how I cut them next time.

Here's a photograph from a year ago showing different layouts using the same triangles with poor joins.

Thanks. I know you shown us a few photos of this work as you progressed with the idea. There have been many here that toyed with the triangle inlay idea for making diamonds and such. You are taking to another level. keep up the good work. Always love seeing segmented work.
