I've been working on some pens for a friend of mine. These are segmented with various woods at different angles. I need to make an order for a couple more barons before I deliver them.
I'm not a big fan of the wasp waste slimlines but I would lose some of the figures if I cut them any smaller. One thing that's tough when turning this type of pen is you have very little wood in places and the grain direction changes so you have to have sharp tools and light cuts so you don't tear the wood out at the joints.
Finished with CA and sanded through 12000MM. Some purpleheart, bloodwood, zebrawood, and other's that I'm not sure of.
Comments or critiques welcome.
