Segmented Artisan European pen

Segmented wooden Artisan European and Bullet pen
Made myself a light box to take the photograph, needs a little reviewing I think.

that is a lovely pair of pens especially the European. Lovely segmenting.

Looks like a nice bit of segmenting there John, nice clean cuts and good joins.
As you say the pics could use some improvement but that will come with practice too.

I really like the segmented one, nice work & lovely pens

Hi, John,

Nice pair, but I DO like that Euro! Well done with the segmenting and (if that's its true tone) the colour of the Euro!

Nice bit of segmenting and well turned there do you think it would look a bit better with the joins running in the same direction

Nice bit of turning, really like the Euro...Excellent
Love the finish on it as well

i like the segmenting one best (getting to like the look) but to say the least both are very nice pens.

Really well done, I like the segmented Euro. The light tent is a big improvement. Nearly there..

John,

I like the artisan Centre band, really lifts the euro but at 7.20 a kit or whatever it is from Ax, I still sell the TB Euro in preference, cant make the margin on the Artisan. Never did like the camo blank, you've done a nice job on finishing it, but my vote would go for a straight barrel on this kit.

Great bit of segmenting Johnny, looks very nice indeed ...

Lovely bit of segmenting there John. Well done!!!!!

I'm with the others, John - both nice but particularly good segmented Euro. Quite a matt finish on it, what did you finish it with?

Friction polish 6 coats and then liberon wax finish.

I prefer the tactile wood feel to a CA finish.
I advise people who buy to use a beeswax polish to keep it smooth if using regularly
