My latest painted pen

[jssmith3]

Hi everyone, this is my newest painted pen, decided I had to get back to turning before something terrible happened [}]. This is flamed box elder on a Classic American pen kit. I am being told to enter this one in the state fair this year, opinions welcome, oh, they won't let me enter as a rookie anymore

Have a great day everyone, have missed ya all but I am back to cause mayham again.

My question also. How do you protect that beautiful detail?

Hi everyone, for those who have been asking how I put a finish over my painting on these pens, I use a CA finish and many, many, many coats of it. Thank you for the compliments and its great to be back.

The pens look great wish I had that talent.

 

[Snazzypens]

Gorgeous. That is nice. Do you paint them then finish them or do you just do it last?

Welcome back Janet! You haven't lost your touch! Beautiful work as usual!

AWESOME!!! I am always amazed on how people can paint like that. Good luck in the competition!!! Do you put the CA on so thick the pen is smooth? It dosen't look like you have a problem with fit and finish. How do you compensate?
Thanks
