Beautiful pen Steve. I really like the color of the blank. Superb fit and finish.
Forgot to ask. Do you gave a link for him. I think I would like to order a blank.

Nice!
I notice you said you painted the tube. What's your procedure for gluing to avoid voids between the tube and blank?
I'm fighting this right now and I've resorted to painting the inside of the blank which is much more time consuming than I'd like.

Jason,
I paint my tubes with spraypaint, then color my epoxy with the same spraypaint. I'll usually step up my bit size 1/64. This has worked well for me, but I do not turn much acrylic.....just Wayne and Jonathon's blanks, and a few of my own.

Just a little tid bit for painting tubes. I bought different colored Sharpies (the big ones) and color my tubes with those. Then I spray a little shellac or poly on them to keep the CA from disolving the sharpie ink. I also use acrylic spray paint as well as Steve does. Both ways work great
