Holiday Lotus

[wolftat]

I have been making so many pens for everyone else, I decided it was time to make one for me again. This is a Platinim Lotus with Ivory Casein. This stuff is very pleasant to turn and I'm looking forward to turning more of it. The blanks were a gift to me from me.

In case you just made it as a gift for you because you did not want to burden anyone else with it, I'm here to take that thing off your hands. :wink: I'll send you my address. :biggrin:

I agree with Kruger very stylish and very classy.

Very nice! I am dying to turn that stuff, but too expensive for now. One day.. Is it hard to turn?

 

[toolcrazy]

I want some of that stuff. Very nice pen. nice work.

Looks like a real classy pen. That kit has some bling to it. Nice choice. There is just something about looking at that material that make me cringe. It just has that delicate look to it. If I droped it all that money down the tubes. Reminds me of porcelin and being brittle.

Nice job on the pen though and take care of it. Nice gift. Thanks for showing.

Very nice! It sure is nice having a high quality pen for yourself isn't it?

When finished turning, does it end up with what looks like small ridges in the surface?

BTW...
Excellent pen.

Such a lovely pen. I think it is great that you have made a pen for yourself. I forget that I also like using a nice pen and that is why I learned to turn pens.

 

[Ligget]

Classy pen, you are good to yourself buying all that Casein!

No it is completely smooth with no hint of a ridge, it just looks like it should have them.

Thank you everyone, I figured I deserved to make one for me after this season. The blanks are from a friend and he sent me 10 ivory, 1 white, and 1 black casein. This stuff was great to work with, but I am looking at a slimline version in the future and will show a picture of it when it is done.

Is there a supplier that carries it regularly? I saw a post that mentioned that it is hard to come by.
