segmented pens

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...

The rising Phoenix is a very nice pen-kit, so i made a pen out of it. The blank is from Elforyn Juma Golden Dragon , the knots made of yellow (golden) veneer and wenge.

Had some fun Segmenting small ballpoints this evening. Which is your favorite segmented pen?

Don't see many of these posted here, though I don't know why. The Euro Round Top from Berea is my best selling pen style. Buckeye burl with Black ash burl segments. CA finish. Micro mesh and buff. I liked the BEB especially for the wide color variation from one end to the other. There is a...

Can you figure out how I did this one? Here is the blank ready to trim and turn for a Baron. Haven't turned it yet, but expect it to be interesting. Just a little tease to whet your imaginations. Will post pic of pen when done.

I mentor some high school students in my home shop (local school doesn't have one). One young man wanted to know where to acquire blanks. Told him they were everywhere. To prove a point, we took some scraps, glue and veneer. Here is what he ended up with.
