Premature Show Off!!

[grub32]

I just made these blanks for my Pittsburgh steelers pens. I cant wait to turn them fast and beautiful!! I put some tutorials up on youtube. These are the ones that I have shown how to make. As always, critiques welcome. I know the color sucks already, still working on that [V]

The links to the videos are in the casting and stabilization forum if anyone is interested.

I am anxious to see how this turns out. It is really hard find the correct yellow for the Steelers colors. I segmented one before Christmas and used an acrylic sheet and the strips were thin and picked up from the black stripe next to it.
Please keep us posted with your progress.

Actually, the problems that I have had on this with color were not from the blanks. I am still working with my light tent and have had problems getting my white balance correct. I think I may have it now. I am going to try again later today. I have pens made from these blanks and I would love to show them off. Hopefully, they will look great!

When I think of the Steelers I feel kinda Green and yellow But those blanks are going to look cool I think.
