Well I was able to get some shop time and here is another first for me. It is a segmented Holly and Gabon blank on a Roman Harvest rollerball kit. I had fun making this and got to use my homemeade router jig thanks to John Lucas instructions. Works great. I learned am still learning alot of things just doing something like this. I picked a tip up here from Thomas Stegall and wish I knew it earlier but will see what happens because I did not bleach the holly on this project. I did on another and will be turning that pen soon. Anyway here it is and as always any comments or questions are always welcomed. Thanks for looking.
