My first acrylic pen

[swanny70]

Acrylic was tougher than I thought. I think I'm getting better with the tenon part of the pen. The bottom pen is made from walnut and is my very first pen. The top pen is made from zebrawood. The middle pen is made from orange sorbet acrylic. I've only made three pens and I'm already hooked! Love making pens even though I've only made three!:

Boy I wish the fit on my first three was as spot on as yours
Nice turning and welcome to IAP!
What finish did you use?

 

[SDB777]

Don't forget to sand lengthwise after each grit, them acrylics show off all the scratches in the finish. PlastixPolish will help some too!



Well done, your hooked now...someone drag him into the boat!

I've only turned 3 pens so far and I agree----It's addictive

The addiction will only get worse, be warned

Thanks, SDB777! I noticed that you can really see the scratches.
