First Segmented Pen

Postby Dalboy » 30 Jun 2015, 22:28

On a Pen turning forum we had a competition to make a segmented pen, this was my entry that took first place which I did not think was to bad as I had never done segmented work to this scale before or even on a pen. And like on here I left it until the last moment and from selecting the wood and pen kit until posting the pictures took 2 1/2 days including all the cutting of the blank staining the cherry wood, glue drying, turning and finishing.

Anyway here it is the kit is a zeta pen which is slightly smaller than a sierra pen. the woods used are beech and cherry veneer which was stained purple to contrast better with the beech.

C & C welcome.

Now that does look good, no wonder you won the compaction. Looks like it's made from light coloured bricks.

My tool kit is almost complete, only a few more to get.

Very clever indeed and leaves me trying to work out how it was done. I wonder is a Mondrian pattern would be possible.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

I have borrowed this PDF there are a couple of things that I did different

1 I sandwiched some more veneer between each layer
2 When I drilled I cut into the segments after the first gluing and not try to drill a long hole in case it went off centre.

Hope that helps
