These pictures can't come close as to how this pen looks in person. The colors just dance and change at every angle. I think I'll take a quick video tomorrow in the sunlight and post it for yall. This is another of my home cast blanks. The mica I used I bought from a new source, unfortunatly they are SUPER expensive and I dunno if it's economical to buy more (I guess if the pen sells for a nice chunk of $ I can afford it). I only had enough mica from the sample baggie for 2 blanks (sample baggie is 1/4 of a teaspoon :eek: and more $ than a full oz. from coastalscents). I had to pry this pen out of my wifes hands just so I could get some pics. The kit is an Cigar Ultra and I used nickel plated tubes instead of painting. MM to 12000 and polished with PlastX. No need for the buffer this go around. Thanks for looking and especially for any comments!

That's a beautiful blank and nicely turned. I just can't bring myself to like those kits... For me, your blanks deserve better.

They do look great, unusual too. I was thinking after your filming see if there are enough interest then you may be able to approach those guys with a group buy and more discount.:)

I've thought about that and for 1oz at coastalscents it's an average of $4. for 20grams which converts to about .72oz this other place wants $10.50:eek: which is the largest size they offer. Even with a discount I think it'll be way too expensive.

Thanks everyone for the kind words, I really love how this one came out. I'm not too big on the kit either, but we'll see how it sells. I also did take a video and put it on youtube, but the quality sucks bigtime. So if anyone wants to see it here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxgY8bD7hn0.
