Lemony Bakelite on a Majestic Squire

[mrburls]

This was an easy one to do :wink: Used a piece of old lemon colored bakelite that had a hole drilled in it already. Just so happened to be 3/8" just like the tube size :biggrin: Cut it to length painted the inside of blank and glue.
I really like this kit since it uses a smaller tube which leaves more material left after turning down.

Very nice! I like the color and the way it goes well with the plating on the Majesic Squire.

Very nice pairing with blank and kit. That color bakelite looks really nice too. Well done!

Nice job, Keith! The Bakelite complements the raised gold band perfectly. Excellent fit and finish, as always.

Just curious, what color did you use for the reverse paint? Sometimes with Bakelite and black or white back paint, I get too much or too little contrast. Yours turned out perfectly.

Looks great! Love the combination of the blank with that kit!

You just do not see that many yellow pens on here and it goes great with the kit you chose.

Very nice coloring in the blank, perfect turning, and great hardware choice!

Hi Andy, I did paint the inside of the barrel white. But the bakelite had alot of yellow color to begin with. Once in awhile ya get lucky with materials.
