I managed to get in the shop yesterday to finish these Mothers Day pens. The first one is for my wife. (She picked her blank and kit). Its Cantalope Rhino Plastic from Exoticblanks on a Panache. It was the first time I turned this type of blank. Rhino plastic turned and sanded very easly. I painted the hole white and the colors really stand out. I'll be getting more of this stuff.
The second is for my mom. Its one of CaptG's watch part blanks I got from Exoticblanks at the MPG this year. Its on a Blk Ti & Gold Ti elegant sierra also from Exoticblanks. I cant say enough about this blank. Gary really puts out top notch work. It turned smoothly and polished up to a glass finish. Great work Gary!
The third is a rose laser kit from Constance I picked up during the birthday bash. It was the perfect pen for my Grandma, whose name is Rose. Its on a blk Ti & gold Ti diplomat from Exoticblanks with a CA finish.
The fourth pen is a gold Triton with a Jeff Powell four leaf clover blank, all from Exoticblanks. This one was for my mother in law who is proud of her Irish heritage. It was the first Triton I made and really gave this pen the expensive look I was hoping for. I can never say enough about Jeff's blanks. Ive never had one I didnt love and they turn like butter. Great work Jeff!
The fifth pen is a vertex click. My wife won this "CaptG" carbon fiber blank at the MPG. Its my first vertex and I really like the look of the carbon fiber on it so I will be keeping this one for me. lol
The last is a black ti vertex fountain pen I decided to try after a guy at work asked if I could make a fountain pen with a cap that doesnt screw. This one has the magnetic cap. The blank is an M3 black & white mokume which I thought fit with the black ti really well. My wife grabbed this one for work while I was away. She's a pen-a-holic !
Sorry for the lack of photography skills. Thanks for looking. All comments welcome.
