Barber Pole

[Marc]

This is maple and bloodwood on a black enamel cigar. Probably the 3rd ever segmented pen.

Lots of fun to assemble and turn. I learned a lot on this pen, some things I would do differently today.

Looks good from here pops! Maybe a little blurry but good. How'd you do that one?

 

[Marc]

Yes, my photography is not so good.

My process was a bit wasteful as I angle cut the bloodwood to match the angle of the maple cut. I wanted the grain lines to run true from one wood to the next. As you can see, when I actually squared the blanks, I did not do a great job of lining up the bloodwood so the line was consistent from top to bottom barrel.

Nice job on that pen. The line up is fine. Thank you for sharing

Thanks all. More segmenting to learn for me.
