A special congratulations to Mark for some excellent segmenting work. Welcome to ExoticBlanks and I see that you have made your first sale on their website. I guess I played a small part a few years ago to influence Mark in doing some segmented pen construction. I got my start about 2004 - 2005 from Malcolm Tibbetts and his work and great book "The Art of Segmented Wood Turning " Of course there are many other woodturners now who are producing some beautiful and creative work in segmenting. Mark, your original chevron work is the next step . Good luck my friend. :tongue:
