This is the new Federal pen kit from PSI, in antique copper. Dressed in my first Kirinite blank, Copper Pearl. This could be my prettiest pen yet. I love the pen and the blank.

Looks great! How did you like turning the Kirinite blank? Looks like it takes a polish pretty well...would you say the Kirinite tends to be harder like acrylester, polyester type blanks or more similar to regular acrylics?

Thanks.

It felt slightly harder than acrylic acetate, but not brittle like inlace acrylester. I sharpened my chisel a couple of times, but had no problems turning or polishing it.
