This is a TM Zeta in gold and gunmetal. The woods are beech and walnut with alluminiumapex top and bottom. The top bands are green,red and yellow guitar picks. The scollop at the bottom is kirnite.
Have been turning pens 8 months now and really enjoy segmented pens.

If you have only been turning pens for 8 months then top marks to you;it took me rather longer than that to get to that quality of no glues joins showing; especially with aluminium in play. Sadly with the amount of work that you have put in, unless you can get a museum or a top notch gallery onside, you will never be paid the real value of your work in a pen like that.

Thanks you
Yeah 8 months on pen about 2years on bowls etc. I started with the basic pens but not challenging enough so went to segmented. Really prefer wood with inlays, have done corian and acrylic but not my thing love wood. I realised right from the beginning you will never get what a pens worth. That's life.
