I picked up an order from Exotic Blanks Friday. There was one of their new acrylic blanks in the bag, so I made a pen and here it is.
It's nice stuff - turned really easy. Very much like the AA blanks from Berea that most vendors sell, same smell when turning.
Nice figure in the blank. It doesn't show in the pictures, but the tube does show through in a few spots. If I do another I'll paint the inside of the tube. Most people wouldn't know what they were looking at - the biggest problem with the tube showing is the color is a little out of normal for the colors in the blank.
There is enough of the blank left to do another Sierra.
I don't turn an awful lot of acrylic pens, but I may need to look at these a little more closely, to see what other colors there are.
Yes, I know I should have dusted the pen before I took the pics:redface:
