I have loooong pondered the perfect cheap white ivory replacement, but randomly as I am looking for segmenting tips I find that my solution was right in the window the whole time! I've tried holly veneer, Tagua nuts but nothing is as easy as normal holly. That is an awesome idea! You are a beast! I haven't done the super complex segments like this in a long time, but this makes me want to do them again. Maybe I should just switch to CA glue instead of wood glue for my joints. I just am afraid that its not as strong since I make the joints super small.
Glad I was able to help, I like using wood glue as well. I use CA glue most of the time just to speed up the process of segmenting. As long as you use activator and flood the blank a time or two when turning just to fill any voids you should be fine. Thanks for watching.
I don't have plans as all tools are not alike. You can follow along and make these jigs according to your tools. Thank you for watching. th-cam.com/video/Wfxa4WPEq1k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=BZU-ZqNefFSbnFkF
Off hand I don’t recall the number of teeth, however your correct it’s not as clean as the table saw but for a bandsaw the cut is as clean as I could imagine.
Thank you for showing how tedious it can be. Makes it more exciting dreaming up combinations. Certainly inspiring.
You're welcome, enjoy the process. Happy Thanksgiving.
awesome blanks. cant wait for the turning.
I LIKE WATCHING THESE BEING MADE IT HELPS ME RELAX AND ITS INFORMATIVE ,, I LIKE THE TABLE SAW VERSIONS ,, AGAIN THANKS FOR THE GREAT VIDEOS
Thank you for the comment. Thanks again for watching the video.
AMAZING! I can't wait to upgrade from my Harbor Freight Table top band saw! Talk about crooked cuts!
Glad you liked the video

Awesome!!!! I made your table saw jig will have to make on for bandsaw. I too prefer the table saw one
Agreed.
I just found your channel, your pens are beautiful. Do you have plans I can get to make your segment pen jig?

Very nice. I appreciate learning how to do this. Can you give me some directions on how to make the jig?
The videos are in my channel on how I make everything.
How many teeth are on your bandsaw blade? I would imagine that the cut isn't nearly as clean as on the table saw?
