I needed to turn a few presents for fellow woodworkers who had given me some wood this year so I though I would try segmented (52 segments of walnut and dogwood) and a couple different styles.

You did a great job on these!  I am still new to turning myself and have basically stuck with slim lines until we can get back on our feet to d what I really want to do.

Daniel, Sorry I missed this post, but wow those are some nice looking pens. Good job on the segmented pen. That can be time consuming. What kind of wood is the third one down on the slimline kit?

Those are great looking pens. I like the segmented ones also.

That is dogwood from a retiree I have breakfast with a couple times a month.  It came from his nieghbor's downed tree about a year ago.

 
I thought I would revive this thread since it is about time to start Christmas presents.  The segmented pens are not that hard to make and probably give the most design "bang" or bling for the level of diffeculty.

Have fun,

Thanks for bringing it back to the top Daniel.

Excellent revival Dan!!! Nice pens. Segmented items make my brain cramp, my hat off to the folks who do it with bowls and pens and such!

John,

Is this similar to a brain freeze when eating ice cream?

As much as I love segment work and pen turning, I have never had the patience to combine the two. Great Job!

Very, very nice!  Using segmented blanks creates all kinds of design options!
