Made these pens the other day for some clients. This was my first time using a double dyed burl and ended up with some voids in the punky areas. I filled them in with turquoise mineral dust and put an 11 coat thin CA finish before buffing. double dyed burl on a Gold Navigator Rollerball kit.
The other pen a friend wanted it to look similar to a Parker he had seen so I contoured it to give it a similar shape. I used Kirinite Lava Flow acrylic and a chrome Graduate Magnetic. To keep the scratches out of the pearl black I sanded lengthwise through every grit and hit it with a raking light to make sure I had all of the scratches from the previous grit out.
