segmented

This pen was a product of a lot of small pieces of scrap that I had laying around. Still new to Turning pins so I probably have a lot more to learn. But I think I'm off to a good start. I made my Blanks on this one . There are a few pieces of African paduk , spalded maple, Purple Heart, zebra...

Some simple segmenting on a couple of Baron fountains that turned out really well. Same woods for both pens, desert ironwood and oak burl.

At one point online, I ran across a site that had a ton of different multi-cast molds that after casting both parts would result in a resin segmented style pen. For the life of me, I can’t find it now. There were over 10-20 different molds for casting…and my husband says if I can’t figure out...

Progress photo's for Alan. These came from the banding blocks posted a few days ago. Simply roughed down with a 1" skew ready for drilling on the lathe. 1st photo shows the blanks for Majestic Jnr pens, the others are Sierra / Gatsby size blanks.

Hello, Looking forward to making segmented blanks. Will a small bandsaw do? I don't have enough space for a tablesaw. If so, which blade is recommended? Secondly, is there a guide to making some interesting segmented patterns? I bought several books on the subject but they discuss mainly...

I had a busy weekend making Christmas presents (even though they are going to be late). Some interesting results with these. Still some details to work on, but I'm generally happy with these. These are all going to couples, so the theme is 'His / Hers'. The middle four are designs I've done...

the last bowl, then pens again

The talents displayed on this site are awe inspiring and very motivating. The resource pages are just full of techniques that I am anxious to try. One such is the Scalloped Pen tutorial by Tim Spaulding. I decided I would give it a go using Walnut, and coloured veneer. Using this method...

A very good friend of mine just got engaged so I made him and his fiancée a set of matched pens as an engagement present. I’ve not attempted any segmenting prior to this and though there are a couple small defects (so small they don’t show up in pictures) I learned a lot and am happy enough with...

The only way I can think to achieve this look is the break off the end of the wood but that would compromise the structural integrity of the wood? Thanks in advance for any advice.

I am a relative newcomer to pen-turning so please don't be too harsh. Any comments or advice are very welcome though. Please excuse the photography. One pen is waxed finish, the other is cyanoacrylate.

I think this is the hardest pen I have made so far. I had two total failures before I finally got it to work. The metal gets hot very quickly and the glue does not hold when it is hot. I ended up using electronics freeze spray to keep my drills cold while drilling it out. I also had to limit...

Am I allowed to show off my 13-year-old son's pen? He just made it last night and I think it is a beauty! Here is a link to see it on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/p/BHM_N42DFaq/

I am delighted to have joined the IAP a few weeks ago, but the workshop has been very busy and I have only just got around to saying hello. I have been turning pens for about a year, and more recently commenced creating and selling segmented wood pen blanks. Please take a look at my pen...

So. I started trying to make an overly complicated (for me) pen, and struggled as a result. I wanted to do a Sierra with two woods in it, cut at a 45 degree angle, so that there is a chevron in wood B inserted into a blank of wood A. After I was mostly done with the pen, I read in the library...

This is my latest effort from the lathe that is not a pen. Been working on it for a little bit. It has 217 pieces of cherry and maple. It is 6 inches in diameter and 7.5 inches tall. Finish is wipe on poly.
