Had some time today to turn a pen. Grabbed a blank I made a few weeks ago that I just had to see what was inside. I dressed it with a rhodium Jr. Gent that has the gold accents. Finish was MM to 12000 and plastX. Thanks for looking and any comments welcomed!

Second Pen

Figured I'd post the pen that I entered in the beautiful pen contest. It's an Art Deco ballpoint dressed in one of my blanks that I made to try and simulate bakelite. Popped out that ugly orange stone and turned my own for the clip as well. Trying out a new way of posting pix so any feedback would be great between this way and the usual way. Thanks for looking!

That first pen reminds me so very much of the catseye marbles we used to play with as kids the way the colors twist.

Both are beautiful pens.

I'm not a big fan of the first pen, but that second one is insanely beautiful! Fantastic work!

I love both pens and blanks.

The first photos are great, but the second is too big. But, all the photos are well done.

I love the Art Deco (although I have found others done love it as much) and I really love your home made fakelite. I could only hope to make a blank that looks that good. OH and the pics are great. If I was to be critical which I have no room to talk but the last Deco is a little dark.
