Does the first one count as a segmented piece? All three pieces...:p

Nice work! Looks like your well on your way to becoming a production pen turner.:) Yes that one key fob does count as a segmented turning.

Segmented Turnings: any turning made with multiple pieces of wood glued together then turned.

[Michael James]

technically, it is laminated. but call it what you want!
carry on:cool:

[David E Keller]

Nicely done.

[Scott Lux]

Looks like your all set for a show!

[James Combs]

Sounds like my initial turning scenario. All my siblings, in-laws, out-laws, etc. got initial production pens for Christmas last year.

I like the looks of almost all of yours.

Thanks guys:)
I wanted to experiment with a few different shapes. I was trying to avoid the thick hourglass shape except for #15 (the chubby one). I did notice the shaping is more noticeable once the pen is assembled. #13 is probably my favorite.
