Ocean Mist Zen

[pyurgal]

Here is a Zen pen done with the Ocean Mist inlace acrylester blank. I sold this one to a lady at my wife's work. She liked it so much that she ordered 2 more Zens. One in purple and one in red. That would make 4 Zens she will have bought from me. I think that is pretty good.

I learned something with turning acrylester. That is to crank up the speed of my lathe when turning this blank. I found the faster I have the lathe going the less pitting I get. What can I say, it works for me.

Enjoy!

I do all turning and finishing at high speed with great results.

for sure nice. I found the same thing with working with that stuff a year ago. Now I run full speed and don't look back. You did a great job on this. I can see why she wants more of them lol. Very cool.

I haven't made a Zen yet. I keep hearing more and more how people like them. Now you've inspired me to give one a try.
