Beautiful Pens Jef! I’d be proud to have one of those Beauties sticking out of my shirt pocket!!

Jef, those are fantastic looking pieces of work. Would you happen to have any pictures of the blanks during the segmenting process before they were turned?

great looking pen! I really like that.
looks like you are also using my favorite hardware!

I like your style!

Sorry I forgot about this for a couple of days. Here are a few pics of the left over pen blank that I glued up for this project.

I think I will take these left over pieces and use them for another pen, without the segmentation. There is not enough left to slice them up for another segmented pen but they are long enough as is for standard pen blanks.

Jef- These are good looking!

What do you mean when you say “I encased the pen in acrylic and polished it to a gloss sheen.”? What product do you use?

“encased in acrylic” is fancy talk for the CA Glue technique. It’s a bit more marketable than saying “covered in super glue”

Very cool. I just started messing with segmented pens about a week ago and like it. I came across this posting. Thanks for posting the blank that was used to make this pattern. You have started my wheels turning on the possibilities.
