Mexican Agate Tru-Stone

[brownsfn2]

This is the Jr Gent I was having problems with. I was able to fis the problems. This is my best tru-stone so far. I really like the look of the Mexican Agate. (This is fun!)

(Sorry about image size. I could not figure out how to resize.)

Outstanding! The fit and finish looks awesome. Photography is great too!
Mexican Agate Tru-Stone has become one of my favorite blanks.

Great job!

Mexican Agate is one of my favorites! BUT, I obsess over the little white spots that are inevitable when turning this material. Being the obsessive/complusive personality that I am, I went to Sam's club and bought the BIG set of Sharpie markers. I actually enjoy taking the Sharpie marker and the CA accelerator to this blank at the end of turning.

I don't know WHY I can't just accept them. You make them beautiful!

Made a razor with mexican agate one time. Loved the looks of my razor but your pen looks a heck of a lot nicer!

Beautiful pen. I love it.

Wow. Thanks for all of the kind replies. This is the first Tru-Stone I have done where I was really happy with it. I am hoping someone else likes it too so I can pay for all the christmas present pens I made.

Thanks again. I had a bad night with a peice of buckeye burl and this cheered me right up. Have a great night!

Very nice. What color did you paint the tubes? Looks like you painted them dark. Really looks great with the black Ti kit.

 

[brownsfn2]

I painted the tubes with black model paint. This was the first time I painted the tubes myself. Usually I have bought white or nickel tubes in the past at Woodcraft.
