Civil War Cosmic Copper

[qquake]

This is a Civil War pen from PSI, in gunmetal. The blank is called Cosmic Copper, also from PSI. The blank isn't as stunning as I'd hoped, it's more muted. But a good looking blank, nonetheless.

This pen is actually a do over. I originally made it a few months ago with lignum vitae. It developed some bad cracks, so I decided to redo it with acrylic. I was able to disassemble it with transfer punches, and turned the wood off the tube.

I didn't paint the tube or color the epoxy, and you can just *barely* see the tube at the narrow end of the blank. But it's not bad enough to worry about. If you didn't know to look for it, you wouldn't notice it.

The new blank looks great. Sad about the crackingof the wood.
Be sure to post a pix of the new pen.
