New Lucite colors Vs 2 Jr. Statesmen

[PenWorks]

I was at the pipe shop last week and picked up some new lucite colors they had. The rods are 7/8 and 18 " long and cost 10.50 ea. at
www.pipemakers.org

Green/brown, Fire, black/brown almost could pass for ebonite cumberlan.

Anthony, have I screwed up your eye sight to the point your now buying green blanks? []

They look great and you did a wonderful job on them. I also like the first pen holder but that second one looks tacky and out of place. [] So you get an A- because of THING. []

Thanks Anthony I am now in deep trouble. I did not realize the pipe shop was local. There goes my next pay check!

 

[Fangar]

Awesome Anthony. I like the "Fire" best.

Look who found their way to the shop.
Great looking pens Anthony.

 

[MDWine]

very nice pens, and I like green to boot!
Orange and Red ain't bad either!
Nice work! (and tacky isn't always bad, IMHO! [] )

 

[coach]

Wow! Looks great Anthony! That orange one looks like it is on fire.

 

[JimGo]

Very sharp Anthony! I like these new colors. Now Michael and I just have to convince Lou to go out to AZ for a few days... []

 

[Czarcastic]

Very Nice!
I never heard about turning lucite (guess I don't get out much []).
I'll need to give it a try.
Is it much like turning acrylics or resins? Is it the same stuff with a different name?

Sorry for asking so many questions - I just get excited when I see new stuff! Great job on the pens.

RT, I almost didn't assemble the green one....(you know why)....turns out, most of the family liked the green the best. I couldn't get Thing to hold the pen the way I wanted, kinda looks double jointed .[]

Mike, the pipe shop is in Deer Valley airpark area, about 11th ave, south of Deer Valley Rd. It is actually in a building that houses the Gold Wing Rider Assoc

Steven, the lucite material is made in Italy, turns simular to resins, I think it drills and turns nicer. Some of it is very transparent. I painted the tubes in the Fire, red. did not paint the others.

Thanks for the comments, felt good to finally make something again []

 

[alamocdc]

KEWL!! [] I like the Fire best. First class work as always, Anthony!

Anthony, Nice job as usual. Is that green and brown also known as Chocolate Mint? If so I did a pen with it and in person it is pretty nice stuff, even more so than in pic's. I haven't tried the Fire yet and I think that there is a tiger that I want to check out.

Those are great Anthony! Does the pipe store have a web site or some other way to order from. Deer Valley is way far away from here![]

Wayne, that green is called chocolate mint.

Anthony,

Pens are beautiful. When you went to the pipeshop, you obviously picked the pieces you wanted. Do they all look fairly similar? If I order on-line, am I likely to get the same overall look? I know acrylics vary, but are they all "stunning"?

Thanks!

 

[PenWorks]

Ed, even though I cherry pick, the consistency is very good on all of them. Plus not much to cherry pick from, as they ussually only have about a dozen of each.

 

[ed4copies]

Thank-you!!

I have a serious bias towards wood pens and especially darker woods with nice figure; but that green pen is a real "looker!!" I will probably have to do something like that for myself!! Nice work, Anthony!!

 

[swm6500]

As usual Anthony, those are some great looking pens.

 

[tinker]

Simply awesome. That one in the middle is really eye candy.

Randy, that's why we're here. To corrupt and warp your mind. []

Thanks Al, I like that one the best as well. [] Meaning the brown/black

 

[pastorbill1952]

Really great looking pens Anthony. I am partial to the red fire, but they are all excellent.

Sorry; but you IAP guys can't take credit for that......my mind was shot long before I ever took up with turning pens!!! []

 

[elody21]

Love the pens!!!! I love wood pens but the acrylic etc... are the ones that hold a place in my heart. I used to go through my grandpa's desk and he had many celluloid(sp?),acrylic and ebonite pens. He died when I was a Freshman in highschool and I never did get one of his pens to keep.

 

[Jim in Oakville]

Stunning as usual Anthony,

Always a treat to see your work!

 

[jvsank]

Nice job on all the pens.

 

[elody21]

Love the colors. Really nice pens
