Sometimes you get a killer blank, here one I am still amazed with...

Wow, what a beautiful job, and gorgeous finished product.

Isn't it amazing how important the quality of the blank is? The more pens I turn, the more I find myself looking for the unusual blanks, and almost hoarding them. Anybody else fallen victim to that disease?

Not a "disease"...this is a very normal condition for most penturners and can you really be a victim if you go willingly?

I really like it! I do wonder just how transparant it is once turned down. Maybe use a blue paint to see if you'd get silver streaked midnight blue. Could be very interesting and versitile!

I almost has a glass like quality when you polish it, so any background inside the body will be some what cast to the surface, maybe a light colour with a silver tube....
