Walnut, Maple, Aluminum, and lots of Glue.

I've been piecing this together for several nights now. Far from perfect, but I enjoy making this design. I blew the bottom out three times and split the middle once. It all came back together though. Had to leave it a little fat because my alignment was slightly off.

That looks really nice. I like that segmenting. Reminiscent if a herringbone.

What kit is that?

 

[mikespenturningz]

Nice job on that Steve

Thanks.......Ty, it's the Atrax from Exotic Blanks.

Very nice pattern. Refine your technique to minimize the blowouts and I think another like this without so many events during turning will be stunning.

Great looking pen.

 

[asyler]

indeed, great looking pen!

I like the curved points on the aluminum.

I'd like to toss in some C&C Steve...you have a great start here!!
There is a lot of gap between the aluminum...metal could have a sharper angle. The end caps may look better with another segment rather than a thin cap.
These are not easy, you have done really nice stuff right out of the gate!! Keep it up!

Aggressive design.Quite a challenge.

That is a ton of work for a pen you are not really satisfied with.

It looks really nice, the more pens I make the more I realize like a lot of things in life, I learn more from what goes wrong then what goes perfect.

Nice job and can't wait to see the next one!
