My latest Segmented Set

[Dale Parrott]

This a repost I did on another site.

It's been rough getting out to my shop these past 7 months for a variety of reasons but the time has come. My creative juices were flowing thanks to some inspiration of the designs by David Shepherdson. Thanks David!
I started with 2 blanks of different colors and began cutting and adding the 1/16" aluminum. The pen kits are just regular Fancy Gun Metal Slimlines (by PSI) but made without a centerband. You advance the ink by twisting the nib. I know someone will ask so I'll tell you now it's all held together with CA glue. The shaping and turning was done without sandpaper because of all the aluminum. I did use 800, 1000, and 2000 grit in the CA finishing. Hope you like them.

Very bold design Dale, and very nicely executed. Do you know what species the woods are?
