Fade to Black Majestic

[Brooks803]

This one was a happy mistake on my part. I mixed my colors way too early and got this as a result. Turned between centers to see what was inside and really liked it. Decided to throw it on a majestic and turn a replacement for that awful pimp crystal. For that I used a leftover from one of my vintage blue blanks that didn't have any white. I really like what I ended up with. I'm getting much better at turning those clip accents I think. I plan on replacing the nib when I place my next order for some. Finish is MM to 12000 and PlastX polish. Thanks for looking and for any comments/critiques made!

Lovin the closeups!

I'm a fan of your castings. Some really cool looking blanks. :star:

Almost makes me want to turn some plastic... almost!

Another beauty. Your blanks are distinguished by the way you gradate the colors, doesn't seem that anyone else is doing that, very nice touch.

Another awesome pen Johnathon! Your work continues to amaze and inspire me.
Maybe someday you will write a tutorial on replacing the "pimp crystal" :biggrin:

With mistakes like that, who needs skill?

Absolutely beautiful. Your so called mistake turned into a simply stunning work of art and the replaced pimp crystal topped it off.

As always, amazing work! I find myself looking for your posts to see the new batch. Can't wait to see what you'll be doing in a couple months from now. Simply amazing partner.

 

[Tanner]

That's beautiful! I have to get a couple of those blanks. They are amazing. Nice job on the pen and replacing the pimp crystal. I'm always late in getting those black and blue blanks. They honestly are the most beautiful blanks I've ever seen...and I've seen a lot of blanks.

 

[Jgrden]

I am wow'd. Beautiful pen. It should fetch a hefty price.

 

[Katsin]

Nice!

Beautiful pen, great fit and finish with an astounding blank. Your cast are outstanding and I wish I could get mine even half as good as yours
When are they going into exotics for sale?

Thanks again everyone. I've got something curing right now and we'll see if I can recreate the look again. Until then...we'll just have to hope I screw up more often! These blanks are so difficult to know what's inside bc of how they are poured. This was the blank prior to turning, you'd never know what it would end up like until I turned into it a bit first:

I think I can do that. I've done a live demo on it for my chapter meeting. I guess I can take some pictures next time I go to make one of these.

Absolutely beautiful. Your so called mistake turned into a simply stunning work of art and the replaced pimp crystal topped it off.

That's an honor coming from you Sir :biggrin:
