A very good friend of mine just got engaged so I made him and his fiancée a set of matched pens as an engagement present. I've not attempted any segmenting prior to this and though there are a couple small defects (so small they don't show up in pictures) I learned a lot and am happy enough with the result I thought I would share them.
Thanks to @greenmtnguy for the cocobolo and @Benpen for the double-dyed maple burl.

I know I'm preaching at a choir convention, but hand-made custom gifts to celebrate life's milestones really hit the mark. And these pens are gorgeous! I like the choices you made and how you call attention to the dyed maple. The green, specifically, jumps out in a way that's interesting. Thanks for sharing!
 
@studioseven its actually aluminum. Turner's warehouse sells sheets of aluminum sandwiched around black plastic which adds a nice effect. I know others have done similar things with old hotel cards and the like.
 
Thanks all! They were very well received - My friend is already talking about getting some kind of display to put on his desk for his pen so I know what to make for his birthday...
