Hello again, I hope I've uploaded this photo of my first segmented pen alright.
It's made of Oak, Iroko and Mahogany.

Thank you, I really enjoyed doing it, the actual turning is relatively easy it's the work that goes into preparing the blank that's time consuming as you all know.
Just to prove to myself it wasn't a fluke I also did a slimline where the woods ran from top to bottom, that too came out very nice.
Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement.

Well done John, as said you have managed some really nice tight joints and the layout looks good as well..

Looking forward to seeing some more segmented stuff from you now, you have set the bar high as well.:wink:

Please could somebody help me out, without being vulgar talking about money, but I have absolutely no idea what a pen like mine would sell for.

I think it depends on your market, where you are located in the UK and if you value your time and effort. I don't make sierras so don't know what I would charge, but it wouldn't be a pittance.
