Very nice effect! And lovely, clean segmenting work

Can I ask how you cut your wood for segmenting (ie bandsaw, tablesaw, etc) and what glue you use to glue them up?

I've used a bandsaw in the past, and not been particularly happy with the accuracy of cut.

I'm speechless. It's beautiful. So when you say styrene inserts what do you mean? Could I have used a coke can cut down?

Excellent work Thomas. I'm sure you've seen Steve Kondo's work in this area. I would say he ought to be worried.

Thanks, used a table top bandsaw and medium ca for the glue.

i use styrene sheets and cut them to size, a coke can is the same principle but the styrene come in many colours and are fairly cheap to use

In that case, I'm even more impressed! Well done, a superb pen!

A very impressive example of segmenting. Love the alignment of the various elements.

Wow Johnny, very complex segmenting indeed, beautiful, a great conversation piece.

Lot of detail in there Johnny well done

I spent a long time admiring your pen Johnny its difficult to describe how often the ooh ahhs flowed. There are so many excellent,well conceived and made sections in the most beautiful of creations. Every line a winner.

The repetition in scale used with the timbers, highlights,grain conformation, how you balanced the strongest of pen designs makes this a wonderful contender for the next pen of the week.

I believe this is the zenith of all your pens to date.

Peter.
