Loofah Elegant Beauty

[Penl8the]

Hi All,

Sierra Elegant Beauty black titanium and platinum in one of my loofah blanks. Tube was spray painted with black Krylon acrylic. Loofah was CA glued on the tube. The glued tube was saturated with medium CA to fill the empty gaps as much as possible. The blank was cast in SWEB Resin Saver.

Wet sanded up to 400. Using CA finish several times - each coat was let dried then buffed with extra fine steel wool. This was when I tried to eliminate most of tiny bubbles. Polished with HUT twice.

There is still improvement to be made on casting and finishing this material.

Thanks for looking.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

That's a nice job, I haven't seen any Loofa pens in a while, I like the idea of doing them in one of Charlies Resin Saver molds, definitely a beautiful pen.

That is a very cool looking pen. I like the abstract look of the material.
