Just Finished taking a Metal inlay Class

[avbill]

It's a PSI Cigar pen the wood is Pink Ivory. with brass inlay.

I was rushed at the end and made an error, but that's what the class is for to learn. sanded all the way to 12,000 and then white the pen blanks. Put two coats of Hut friction polish. Please comment as I'm learning. Thanks Bill D.

That looks great and it will be the building block for more and more. I have used brass on a dozen pens or more but not length wise yet. Brass sure builds in the patience.

IN the long run, I would consider lacquer or CA as a finish to prevent the brass from turning from sweaty palms and what ever makes it turn.

Good looking instrument. It will provide you with a solid base for other work. I agree with Hank on the comment about laquer or CA.[][]
