I took the lessons learned from my last segmenting effort and applied them here and I like the result far better.
For this one I took a piece of walnut and cut 1 inch holes in it. I then used a plug cutter to cut one inch pieces of oak. I wrapped the oak in aluminum and glued the plugs into the walnut and then cut and worked the blanks as per normal.
Here is the resulting Jr Gent. I will definitely go this route again, except next time with nicer wood. The only flaw that I can see is that I forgot to orient the grain in the plugs so they are different by about ninety degrees. If I were microsoft I would call this a feature.
