Jumpin Cholla Platinum Baron

[Justturnin]

I made this up in trade on another forum for some silver shavings that may or may not end up in a gator pen someday. The guy I made this for and his new bride will be moving into their new house next week and his goal to to try to get this to be the first piece of mail they receive.

It is one of my Jumpin Cholla Cactus cast in Orange Mica in Alumilite clear, reverse painted white w/ a CA finish. All that goodness draped around a Platinum Baron.

It has been a LOOOONG time since I turned a pen. Really felt good.

C&C Welcome and encouraged.

Not so great pics w/ my Cell. No idea when mama's camera is.

I really like the depth of the pen - back painting white with a clear alumilite - looks really nice!

Outstanding work on that marvelous pen. Like that beautiful and interesting blank. The fit and finish are awesome.

Great looking pen and no excuses necessary, those are some of the best looking pen pics I've seen from a phone yet! Most are too close and out of focus because of it and off color from improper white balance. You've got both of those issues pretty well fixed in this photo set.

Excellent!!!
