Cambridge with Black and Gold Web Trustone, et.al.

[Kaspar]

Anyone else turned this stuff yet? It is the hardest trustone I've ever turned. If it didn't look so good, I wouldn't have finished it. It is evil. It eats your tools for a light snack. On the lower barrel, I cut it down very close to the bushings with my Jim Saw.

The piccie doesn't do it justice. It's my new favorite.

I like it, the gold veins look good with the gold accents. Good job!

Beautiful pen Kasper ! No Trustone for me yet . Thanks for the warning ! [8D]

Not all trustone is as bad as this stuff. Trustone is tough to turn, but this was just evil.

I just sold that trustone pen, btw. One of my better customers is really in love with that Silver and GTi Relief Cambridge Kit.

Hmmm, well really that's pretty good then, considering I used a scanner.

Both are lovely! Who sells that acrylic blank? It's nicely understated.

That is awesome but I am disappointed to hear how hard it is. Some trustone is a joy and some is absolute torture!

I like it. Sounds like carbide tooling would work well. Did you get the material from a woodworking supply in a pen blank size or from the company that makes it in a bigger block?

Kaspar---Thanks for the link. The indigo swirl looks good too. How is is that material to turn?

AZ Sil has it. It comes in 3/4th and 7/8ths but BB was out of the smaller size. So it was that much more work.

I'll need blocks of it to be able to use it in my rings. I didn't see it on the site of the people that make it as of yet. I imagine it turns like lapis, which is some darn hard stuff.
