Elegant Beauties

[bitshird]

finished a couple more today that seem to look decent, the first is Pomelle Bubinga on a black TI kit

Next is a gold TI dressed in a piece of cross cut Desert Ironwood Burl, the chatoyance on this kind of took me by surprise, Both pens are finished with 6 or 7 coats of thin CA then sanded to 600 and 2 coats of med CA sanded to 2000 and buffed then renwaxed,
I made some between center bushings, and also a set out of delrin for sanding and applying CA,

Comments and critiques appreciated.

Both are very nice. Good job on the slight soft curve of the body. Excellent finish as well

Hey Ken, a couple of gorgeous pens. Both pieces of wood are beautiful and go very well with the kits that you selected.

Sorry to get OT, but I was wondering, are the EB bushings the same as the Sierra bushings?

Jason, the Elegant Beauty's do take a different bushing, the tube is smaller and you get a little extra wood on the barrel, always a plus.

nice to know, thanks. I am interested in doing those, but didn't know what level of money I had to put into them.

Great bunch of pens Ken. The flow of the curve from hardware through the wood is perfect.
