It looks like alumilite. Alumilite is so much harder to polish than PR. I saw a big improvement when I started using a beall buffing system. Normally I'm not a fan of the white finials or sections, but it brings out the white in the blank, so I think it works well. Good job.

Yes I think it is Alumilite, it threaded nice so I am thinking it is. The white for sure is cause I cast it my self.
I just made myself a Beall buffer and I managed to get the shine with that.

Wow that is good. I have never made a kitless pen. Can I ask how is the threading done?

I have to agree with Bob. The white really brings it all together. Great pen Lin! Makes me think of chocolate cherry ice cream :eat:
