Blue cast Cholla Cactus on Baron

[Dai Sensei]

Cast the chollo cactus blanks for these over the past weeks. A visitor wanted to see how the blue ones turned out. They were cast with transparent pearlex and flouro blue dye.

Turned it up and finished with CA on a silver Baron. Turned through the cactus in a few spots on the lower tube due to the smaller dia, these need large tube kits, but the top is Ok. I don't mind though, the areas of blue look Ok to me.

The finish may look satin, but that is the light tent, I can assure you it has a brilliant shine.

Cheers

Neil, That looks absolutely beautiful! Love the striking contrast! The color looks almost crystalline. Very native southwest look with cactus and near turquoise color. Thanks for showing. Regards, Doc

Neil, That looks great and I know what you mean about the tent knocking down the shine.
