Two new segemented pens

[woodscavenger]

I have not had much time lately but I did buy Barry Gross book and had to play around with the spiral segments. Lots of fun! But it would probably have been easier if I had drilled hole in the blank before I sliced it. I had to hand glue the spiral. Oh well it was fun. I will definitely do more. The woods are spalted tamarind, oak burl, yellow heart, and spalted maple.

The second pen is a glue up from ebony, black maple veneer, bocote, and curly maple. I was going to make separate Sierras but the wife wanted this way.

BTW I just bought a house and so I will be moving. Anyone want to help? I must say, I am a little sad. I having to move my tools from a side wall in my garage to a 1000 sq ft shop!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!![] I am in heaven!

Shane,

Those look really nice. I like the choice of woods and patterns on both. Thanks for sharing. Congrats on the new place too.

Very nice. I wish I had the tools and the patients to do something that good.

Very nice work! Very detailed and well executed.[8D]

Great work on the segments and congrats on the new shop. Nooooo, I'm not jealous

Pens are great. But the background and shadows make the picture busy and confused.

I love the baron!

Great work shane....I love segmented work.

I live 120 miles away, but a bad back prevents me from moving much.

(Do ya buy that excuse?[)][}])

Nice work on the segments Shane. Is that a segmented platter you have them sitting on?

If you were still in North Carolina I'd be glad to help you move, but Idaho is a bit far.

They look great.

Those are both very nice, but a 1,000 square foot shop is obscene.[]

Great pens! I really like the spiral segment.

The photo was a quick snapshot to get the basics across. I know it is busy and shadowed. I set the pens in a segmented bowl that I did from some wormy oak a fe years ago. In terms of the shop I think I am going to have agoraphobia. My tools are way too small. I don't know what to do. I think I will get lonely out there in all of that free space.[] Oh well, I think I will survive[]

 

[chitswood]

Wow keep up the great work!

 

[pete00]

I really like the way the Baron looks! I think it would look marvelous if the cap had the same base color as the lower barrel as well.

 

[chigdon]

I don't know which one I like better but they are incredible!

 

[bob393]

Very nice work.
I like the background also. Is it a segmented plate?

 

[johncrane]

Fantastic! pens.[]

I like the second pen. I have been working on a few designs like that, but I have not got around to turn them yet. I like the nice clean line the veneer makes. Great job.
