Here are the three pens I finished today. They are all Tru Stone except for the bottom. I was finishing the sizing. I removed my tool from the blank to let it cool so it would not get too warm. Then, as I was gently edging the tool in to trim just a bit more. My tool caught just a bit. I pulled back and eased it back in WHAMO! The end of my blank flew at me.

I have hundreds of wood blanks and varies acrylics, but nothing seemed to go with the color of the Tru Stone until I looked at the White Pearl acrylic. I didn't want to throw the top half I had already completed away, so I used the pearl acrylic for the bottom.

How would you rate this recovery? Comments and criticism appreciated.

Any dark color always looks good with white. Photo is vary hard to see any detail on your pens or even what color they realy are. Suggest some front lighting left and right. Check library for hints on lighting. Jim S

Well, I like the top two, and the bottom one gives you the opportunity to make another top and bottom to match them up. I do that a lot.
