Pink Prickly Pear Cactus-My Fiance Turned

[shawnmhill]

We went to Curtis's (MesquiteMan) shop in May. While we were there he gave my fiance this pink cactus blank. So, needless to say she had to do it. She chose the gold Jr Gent. turned it down just shy of the bushings and sanded from 320 to 600. Applied 4 coats of med CA and MM up to 12000. Plastic polished and finished with a little Ren wax. Now this is her favorite pen.

BTW. Can anyone recognize this dog? HAHAHA

Beautiful pen! I bet you could not take that pen away from her, the way your dog is looking!

 

[shawnmhill]

Haha. The dog's name is Roscoe and it's Curtis' dog.

Shawn you know Roscoe is protecting that pen, you better ask her hands in marriage soon so you can see that pen or you have to go through Rosco. I think the first choice is easier.
BTW, that pen looks very nice. And I can hear Roscoe growling.

Your Fiancee did a good job, her Fiance should be proud of her work as you obviously are.

Very nice pen. Fiancee did a excellent job.

 

[shawnmhill]

Yes she did. Now I just have to keep her off my lathe?

Great looking pen. Did not think I would like just reading the description. Wrong! Like the color more than expected. Also, nice work on the pen.
