segmented

I have been "turning" for technically 2 years BUT actual turning time, I have about 3 months experience with my lathe ... so I'm NEW :redface:. I am eager to learn about the pens and many aspects that can be done with them - they are so much more than "just basic turning" like one of my...

Here is a vintage classic from Smitty's! It was a $2 kit on closeout and I have been learning for maybe three months less than 20 pens so far. I thought this one turned out nice ! Also I posted one picture with my ipad and it will only do 1 picture period! Any ideals, I know others have the same...

These two bottle stoppers are four woods which were from cutoffs on two bread knife handle laminations. Droplets are stainless steel. Sanded 180, 400 and 600 Abranet, then MM to 2400. Finish is four applications of Shellawax. I just kind of winged it on the shapes. C&C welcome. Thanks for looking.

Hello to all the Pen Inthusiasts; My (Denver395) was a nickname bestowed by my Uncle when I could barely spit! My name is Denvy and love to turn. At first my thoughts turned to bowls, then two segmented chess sets, different projects, then pens. My favorite is creating the slimline to resemble...

Will try again.

Not too sure about the woods, but an interesting story: Went to a street fair here in Tennessee. Didn't show this time. Saw this guy with pretty amazing cutting boards and bought a small 12" bread board with this pattern. I told him why I was buying it. I wasn't sure whether or not he was happy...

Here is one of my segmented peppermills. Segmenting peppermills is what gave me the idea to segment pen blanks. I teach Segmented Peppermill classes at my local Woodcraft store (Milwaukee, WI) as well as out of my shop. I will also be at John C. Campbell Folk Art School in July 2010 instructing...

Diamond cigar, walnut, zebra & maple

Here are two variations of the "Morning After" pen that is in the tutorials. First is a Sedona, and second is a Baron. Both are made from African Blackwood, Padauk, and Maple, but the pattern and material thickness is a little different on each.

22kt/Rhodium Broadwell out of amboyna burl w/pewter segment. Comments welcome.

Enjoyed some time in the shop today and this was the result..Cocobolo segmented with a black acrylic from woodturningz, black veneer and aluminum.. Finish is ca.. Comments welcomed, thanks for looking

Ok, so this one is similar to the last but I added a piece of veneer between the purpleheart (backer) and the segmented wood. I like the added touch personally. AND, I got my first CA finish on a pendant to come out right. I have one more idea to make these a little better but I am happy with...

I have been working on these for a while and finally turned some worth Posting. The first few are a mixture of wood and Alumilite. The next to last is a segmented Walnut & Maple Jr. Gent II and the last one is a spalted pecan cigar; the wood for this last pen came from a tree cut down in Fort...

My Daugther Crystal made this one! Just started glueing the unused pieces together and I just help drilling it and placing it on the mandrel and lathe for her. I really like this pen and her turnings are getting to be better than mine.
