This week's Pen of the Week is chosen by Fingwe.

Segmented Omega fountain pen, made by Johnny5 using tambotie, pink ivory and pau amarello, with a Dymondwood sandwich down the middle, highlighted by styrene inserts.

Fingwe said " I thought it was a great use of different coloured woods, segmented into a complex and eye catching pattern"

Thanks everyone for choosing me it is indeed an honour amongst everyone who posted ,
i really enjoyed making this pen blank , never let the enjoyment become a chore , I love this Hobby and enjoy making new and different styles.
my next one was not as good as this one so lady luck was on my side , so practice , practice & practice , add that to a little bit of luck & most of all keep enjoying what you do.
