segmented blanks

Here is nice example of one of the high end rollerball pens I just completed. This pen is made from over 50 individually laser cut pieces of Maple, Padauk and Olivewood.

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...

I made 30 of these segmented blanks so I felt like I had to turn at lest one to show what it looks like turned.

My wife wanted a rainbow pen. I didn't see a blank I liked so I made one. I thought it turned out ok and she liked it.

Finishing this blank up for my dad's birthday gift. I am not a fan of epoxy resin, such a mess to deal with. This is one of my first "ambitious" segmenting projects. I had a scaled blank that came apart before this, which is why I switched from CA glue to epoxy. Squares are 3/4" and 0.1" thick...

A retro pen it will be. Padouk, wenge, beech, merbau, white and black pvc, and 2 veneers. this is the top section, the bottomsection is the same but on the lathe, finishing with CA.

Upper and lower blank prepared. Padouk, beech and wenge veneer added and 2 pieces of yew, 16 pieces of wenge venner for all scallops, 16 pieces of beech and 16 pieces of wenge wood.

First attempt at making hybrid pen blanks/segmented pen blanks. I have a long way to go making segmented pen blanks! Hubby did most of the turning (I’m still learning). Pen Kits: Big Ben Cigar Pen, Executive Twist Pen

I have lots of long & narrow (1/8" or less wide) strips of cherry wood that I would like to try and make pen blanks of. I tried Alumilite in a mold - didn't work out. Any body have any suggestions as to what to use to bind the pieces together. Thanks - Alan

My name is Jim Godoy. I started turning a few years back and that hobby turned into blank making. I was fortunate enough to meet a fellow turner with similar interests and we have since focused mostly on blank making, cast, hybrid, stabilized, dyed and segmented blanks. Looking forward to being...
