"Silver Mine" on Platinum Jr Gent

[mbroberg]

I picked up this blank, called, "Silver Mine", from Exotic Blanks. If you ever turn one of these heed the instructions to paint the tubes and reverse paint the blank. By the time it is turned to size the silver is pretty sparse!

I was going for a kinda scarlet and gray look, I think it ended up with more of a Christmas look.

What do you all think?

Looks Blooded good to me.

Mike, your turning skills are spot on, the finishing also spot on...the blank ....well 2 out of 3:wink:.

Thanks Mike!!!!!

Both the Silver mine and the Gold Rush are from DurocShark (Don) who is "evolving" the process from generation to generation.

We (Exotics) hope to help him control more accurately the final outcome. In the ideal world, Don will be able to produce these in "sparse" (as this one turned out) and more "intense" (I have a gold one where you can barely see the tube). That way you can pick the look you prefer.

But, at the moment, it is a "work in progress". Don is buying more equipment and doing more experiments and we hope we are giving him some help.

All comments welcome!!! Call it "product development"!!

Thanks,

Ed

It looks pretty good Mike. I look forward to seeing a denser version

I agree with Jeff, while it looks good a denser version may offer that "WOW" factor.

I've been WAITING to see someone else's pens using those blanks! Sweet!
