I had some shop time today before our big holiday craft show tomorrow, so I got a couple of the blanks I received from the blank exchange turned.
The first is a Vintage Green blank that was put in the exchange by Brooks803. I put it on a gold Zen and reversed painted the blank with some lime green acrylic and I think it just turned out great. It's actually the first blank I've reverse painted, and it's amazing the amount of depth it gives the blank.
The second is a hybrid blank with just a gorgeous wood paired with teal and purple acrylic. I put it on a chrome jr gentleman with a finial replacement from the blank. My wife claimed this one before it even left my shop, gotta love it when that happens.
Third pen is a black ti and gold sierra pen with a blank that was a first for me. I took a purple pearlex blank I had made that blew up when we tried to turn it and recast it with silver pearl ex. I think the effect is really nice and turned out a nice pen.
Thanks again to everyone that took part in the exchange, I have a couple more pens coming from it soon. Special thanks to Brooks and Justturnin on these 2, they turned out great and they were a joy to turn.
C&C welcome!
