A postable Helix Rollerball plated in Rhod./22K Gold. The main bodies are turned from Yellow Birch Burl. Segmenting is done with 1/8" flat aluminum bar and exotics acrylic named Amadeo blue!

Does anyone recognize the Helix by any other name?

Two More

Here are a couple more I finished this week.

First is Aspen Burl with blue lapis and aluminum spacers. I hadn't worked with lapis before, and blew out the end. When I glued the piece back together with some shavings to fill it in the CA smoked up like it wanted to catch fire. Pretty interesting.

The second is bubinga with maple. No spacers on this one.

Enjoy.

Steve

Segmented cigar pen

Here is how my segmented cigar pen turned out.It has curly maple in between 2 pieces of a mystery wood.It's brown wood,with these neat looking wide black striped markings.

It really changes when you move it in the light.


Thanks for lookin'!

Not fancy but still segmenting.

The colors represent the Afghanistan Campaign Medal. A good friend spent 6 months there last year. He knows I make pens and and he saw a bullet pen and asked if I could make one for him.

This is my attempt

Panache pen with Ebony ends

I ended up with a Pancahe pen kit with 2 large base caps.I wanted to use it up,and thought I'd make it work with both ends the same.

It was harder than I thought.....the tubes are different that the caps fit into..So the capped end has a short section of the small diam.tube in the ebony,then the fatter tube in the wood.The wood is a mystery,it sounds like it might be mahogany?

It was a fun challenge.

I jazzed it up by segmenting these pieces of ebony on the ends.It looks nice here on my desk.I actually like writin' with these pens.

Thanks for lookin'!

pair of segmented Spartan pens

I wanted to make the Spartan pen kit,and try my hand at segmenting with pop can aluminum.

One has a piece of Ebony sandwiched between the two strips,then curly Maple on the sides.

The other one has Walnut in the middle.

These were fun to make,and I learned some lessons that I hope I can improve upon on future pens.

Thanks for lookin'!

Steve

Ebony & Striped Ebony Pen and Pencil Set

.... with a little segmenting thrown in for the group.

Based on a slimline kit, I removed the center band and created a raised band that is contiguous with the black-hole ebony lower portion. They are finished with CA and BLO.

These are pens #4 and #5 for me. I am learning at every turn! (haha)

Hopa youa likea.

Guitar wood pens

I finished up this pair of Sierra Elegant pens today,that I used this already-segmented wood from scraps of guitar necks.

I cut them at an angle to get the swoops,and tried hard to get the swoops centered the same on the top,as the bottom of the pen.

Woods are Walnut/Maple, and Koa/Maple.

They might look easy,but man I tell ya,it's pretty hard to get one to turn out right.When they do,it's a great feeling!

I've done about 5 other pen kits using these scraps,but these are my first using the Sierra Elegant kits.


Thanks for lookin'!
Steve
