Gold Olympia Twist Ballpoints. The first one is dressed in Black Ash Burl with the second one wearing Amboyna. Both sanded down to 12,000 MM, applied 6 coats of Minwax Gloss Poly and polished with Brasso.
I'm really getting to like these as do a lot of my customers!!
As always comments and or suggestions welcome.
Thanks for looking.

Very nice finish, and I like the looks of the Olympia kit, they look dressier than the plain Euro twist, I have a gallon of Minwax fast drying polyurethane for floors, Think I'll try a few blanks and see.

Pens look Great! I bought some black ash burl here and havent turned it yet. I like that kit better than the normal euro. Very fancy. Its a must! The finish looks great also. Ive used minwax fast poly on my cedar arrows and it worked great. 4 years of shooting them into a foam target and they still shine. The only drawback is the time. I like the quick set of lacquer for multiple coats but the odor sucks. Nice job!
