I'm Having Carbon Fiber nightmares

[neon007]

Here are two carbon fiber pens I finished today. There was a third but we wont discuss that one. Lets just sat that a sierra is a bit thin for carbon fiber. However I will keep trying. So here is a baron and a slimline. Both with black Ti plating. Sanded to 2000 and buffed my with my concoction. Sorry for the bad pic of the baron but I just cant seem to get a good one. The slim can out pretty good though....I think. Thanks everyone for looking and as always comments are encouraged.

Very nice pens! Where did you get the CF from? How'd you do the casting? Did you wrap the CF around a tube somehow?

You would need a darker bacground to get a better exposure. If you overexpose to get the pen the way you want you'll burn the backgroung and if you get the backgroung correct the pen will look dark. Notice how the Slim pic is a bit better with a slightly darker background. Try darker.
What matter most now. The pen look terrific. very nice work and look. congrats.
I'd be courious as to how they are made.
Congrats.

Hey Keith, get the Sierra Vista from Arizona Silhouette. Much more "meat" on the barrel.
