Pinstripe Panache
The blank is made up of twelve 30 degree curly maple segments (or wedges) and sandwiched by twelve pieces of black dyed veneer (not sure what kind of wood).
The wedge-veneer segments are wrapped around a small dowel for easier (CA) gluing. The pen kit is a Chrome Panache.
CA finished and polished with Novus 3, 2, and 1.
Thank you for looking.
Comments are welcome.

Well done in all the hard work.

This is better than good, its serious art, an I am not even into the 'insanity of the pen' (yet .. Haa)
i found myself closely examining the other pen, the segmented one, until finally I worked out how it was done.
with this one and the dark lines ... A comment .. If you were to 'waist' a similar blank ... Like an hourglass .. Then in theory the dark lines should also follow the waist in ?
regardless of the varying diameter, all lines remain present but just move in closer together as the diameter decreases. This probably doesn't make sense.
it has given me ideas ... Ta for that

I hope you realise you have just taken the first step on a very slippery slope Greg?

OMG ... You mean its catching just by thinking about it ??
y'know up at my place .. Each time I throw a ironbark log in the fire I look at that beautiful red color on the ends and throughout .. And I think, 'such a waste'
why hasn't anybody made a pen out of ironbark yet. Segmented maybe ? Wedges ... Or .. Segmented wedges .. (I tink I'm startin to slip)

Very nice work. I wouldn't mind seeing a full tutorial on that work if you are interested.

... my turn to say, do I make sense?
Good Morning Everyone,
Thank you for all the kind words.
Greg, you are correct. The line will decrease or converge as the diameter decreases. In fact with some other pen kits, the lines will disappear if the blank is turned "too far when you can see the brass tube". But in the case of the Panache, as a "beefy" pen, there is a lot "real estate" between the outer diameter of the tube and the outer diameter of finished pen.
Now it is my turn to say .... make sense?
