I got this in the mail from another member. (I wish I was clear on the rules for dropping names after hearing concerns) I decided I'd take a crack at another gold and black number. Reverse painted black, painted the tubes black, custom centerband, on the Rockler Slimline kit.

Nice pen.. the black works perfect...

I suggest a simple crop of your pictures (I took liberty):

For name dropping - you can mention who made the blank.

Name dropping- Good to know. I didn't wanna cause issues.

Cropping- All these are stored to a different site and then the html is pasted in. It doesn't let me do any cropping. My computer time is usually very limited due to the wife being a college student. I need to get Dad to get me walked through getting pics posted the right way.

Thanks for the feedback, the blank was made by Firewhatfire.

Nice looking pen Allen. You're one up on me in this category. I've yet to turn a gold leaf blank, even though I've had a few sitting here for quite some time. Can you say CHICKEN????

that is the waste stuff from my gold mine. I dont worry with anything smaller than my thumbnail for keeping. This waste stuff I usually just pitch back into the hole but thought it would look neat in a pen.

Just kidding this is gold leaf from Michael's I picked up with a 40% OFF coupon. I poured 4 blanks so far and have enough for a couple of 3 more.

I think my gold mine is broken. All it makes is dirt.

Looks good! I have a gold and copper leaf blank drilled, painted, and glued for a perfume applicator. I need to get off my butt and get it turned!
