Fly Me To The Moon....

[kruzzer]

this is actually the second pen of this design I tried. This one is an Black Atlas kit made from black and white acrylic with (and thanks to a design by Hank Lee) pieces of sloder as the stars...
The first one I did I actually used ebony, holly and solder but wifey has that one and won't give it back... comments always welcome and thanks for looking

Sorry about the poor photo quality... I'm gonna work on that...

That is NICE! I really like it! The dimples show up great. I am working on more in my mind even now. However, it will be June or July before I can work on them.

That is fantastic . How did you keep the solder from settling to the bottom ?
The pic is very good , nice and sharp just a little too dark .

 

[kruzzer]

Thanks for the kind words.... Hank can't wait to see what you come up with next..

Butch, you don't melt the solder. When the blank is round I set it up in a V block and just drilled the right size holes on the drill press. A little ca glue on the end of a piece of solder put it in the hole, clip it off with a pair of wire cutters. When you have all the holes filled put it back on the lathe......

Thats a good looking pen. I know about the wife taking pens, it's kind of hard to say NO

That is very, very cool, nice work.

Very nice, I have been playing with a space theme too, but I like your idea of the solder.

Thats a good looking pen. I know about the wife taking pens, it's kind of hard to say NO

Especially when she picks out most of the kits when we go to a to WC or another local store.

BTW, love the concept. Nice pen

Looks great. I made one once with a midnight blue blank and light swirl, only I used pr for the stars. I like the solder idea. I can relate to the wife sticky fingers.... but she is my biggest fan.
