Amazed I didn't end up with Purple!

[Brooks803]

Here's a bit of an experiment I tried out a couple days ago. I wanted to try combining the colors I use in my Vintage Blue and Crimson together in a single blank to create a patriotic theme. With both of those colors being translucent I was sure I'd get atleast patches of purple. I must say I'm more than happy with how everything turned out :biggrin: I reverse painted the blank black. I didn't want to use blue or red bc I was concerned it'd for sure give me purple somewhere.

Thanks for looking and as always any comments/critiques welcomed and appreciated!

I used a Chrome Zen component set:

How do you make 1/16" of material look 4" deep?! Lovely blank and pen! And photos.

That's the whole secret to his castings:biggrin::biggrin:

Btw great pen Jonathan! I have been trying to get some good Red, white and blue blanks. Just getting the proportions down is the hard part.

Really like this kit to show the blank...as the longer tube lets ya see more of it! Reversing it with black = big thumbs up!!



Well done!

Where is this for sale on Exotics? I can't find it.

Looks really nice. I did actually look on Exotics for it before I realized it was an experiment.

Good job.

Thanks! I've tried making these with alumilite but it just didn't have that same depth to it. I've got a turned barrel, I'll have to find it and take a pic to show what I mean. However, I have been considering buying some alumilite for just that reason :wink:
