Awesome new color cactus pen

[MesquiteMan]

Here is a new "Original Cactus Pen"™ that I just finished. This is a new color I came up with that I call Magma Red and is on a Jr. Statesman that has been modified to make the main body 1/4" longer than normal. The stock length is just too short and uncomfortable to me. The finish is CA and the inside of the blank has been colored black. Thanks for looking!

That cool Curtis nice cactus pen, look like you dye the cactus

 

[MesquiteMan]

No, the skeletons are not dyed at all. Purely natural!

Beautiful pen and blank. I have to start casting with alumilite. I tried pr and just dont like it.

 

[Darley]

even better, look like then you did 2 pour 1 clear and 1 red, I say this as I see some area more red than other part of the blank, or maybe my screen playing up

No, the skeletons are not dyed at all. Purely natural!

 

[MesquiteMan]

Nope, it is all one pour! There are variations in the color for sure but the resin was all mixed complete and poured in one pour! I have a technique that I use to get this effect!

 

[Darley]

Curtis that great and I'm not going to ask you your secret, will wait that another person ask for me :biggrin::biggrin: I know the answer for this question now :biggrin:

 

[rlofton]

Very, very nice Curtis. What are you up posting at this time for?

 

[jyreene]

I'm starting to like the Jr. Statesmen more and more seeing such great looking pens as this. Magma Red is a perfect name for it. It really brings to mind lava as it is cooling down. Any plans to offer this new style up on your site?

 

[Jim15]

That is a beauty.

[Skye]

See, just when I say "That's my favorite so far", you come along and make me eat my words. I'm now declaring this my favorite cactus combo.

If you just had a half inch more cactus up near that finial...

 

[PaulDoug]

Of the ones I've seen, that IS my favorite! Looks so rich.

 

[toolcrazy]

Gorgeous pen.

 

[broitblat]

I have to agree that it is an awesome new color. It makes me think of a primeval electric storm

It makes me think of a primeval electric storm

EXACTLY! I can almost see dinosaurs trying to hide under trees as the sky opens up and nature lets loose her fury...

It's amazing what a simple pen can conjure in the mind's eye.

Gorgeous pen Curtis: My favourite too.

Cheers!

[novop711]

[mitchm]

[Mudder]

Nope, it is all one pour! There are variations in the color for sure but the resin was all mixed complete and poured in one pour! I have a technique that I use to get this effect!

Who are you trying to kid?

Your "technique" is called OOPS!

 

[stoneman]

Curtis,
Now that one is really a beauty! Great choice of colors & kit.

 

[papaturner]

I agree with some of the others.........Has to be my favorite.

 

[thewishman]

My wife ooohs and aaahhhs (like at the fireworks) each time I show her your cactus pens. Her first words, what was it 2 1/2 years ago when you first showed them, were, "That looks like lightning!" She's a great fan of your work.

You still have my mailing address, right?

 

[bitshird]

Nice pen Curtis, I really like the color and it goes so nice with that Jr. Statesman

 

[MesquiteMan]

If you just had a half inch more cactus up near that finial...

It goes all the way up on the other side. That is just one of the little quirks of working with cactus.

Woud you sell me two of this blank ?

Maximil, These will be available on my site as soon as I get some more resin.
