This is one of the whitest blanks I have seen and has a pearled look to it. I really like this blank alot. Here is a cigar and a Jr Statesman with the material. Thanks for looking and as always any comments or questions are always welcomed.

John, both are outstanding. That's the first Ultra Cigar that I've liked and the Jr. Statesman and that blank are a marriage if ever I've seen one.

OK I get to try out the multi quoting thing that Roy told me how to do. Looks like it might work. Thanks Roy.

Mark I got this blank from Woodcraft on my last order from them and it is actually called Snow. Someone here had used it awhile ago and I asked about it then.

Just more proof that some blanks go great with certain platings! I like them both.

You're not planning on selling that Jr Statesman as a Jr Gent are you?

George, you caught me. I knew eventually I was going to do that one of these days and yes you are right it is a Jr Statesman. After awhile all these kits look the same and you forget the names. Hope I did not confuse anyone except myself. My apologies.

They look great!!

Is that white pearlex inside the blank?

This is a store bought blank so I do not know what is in there. Awhile back I had made some blanks with white PearlX and they turned out OK but these are so much nicer.


Thanks everyone for the kind words.

My quest to find a matching black pearled blank still goes on. I ask anyone if you have source for such a blank please let me know. I have a customer who want a couple top end kits in a white and black. I found the white and need a black. The blanks that used to be called ice were close. Thanks.

I talked to Ed already and he knows what I am looking for. No I am not looking for an all black. That I have. I was even sent a sample blank by a member here who is making pearlized blanks but it does not match the look of the white. I will continue to search and I told my customer it may or may not happen.

Did you paint the tubes/blank or use a nickel tube?

Again, I really like the ultra kit much better the way you have swapped (matched) the plating. Very nice!

Lenny I was so worried about this kit being translucent that I used white tubes, painted the inside of the blank and also tined the epoxy white. I wanted a white blank and got it. I agree with swapping the kits to make a better looking kit. Thanks for the kind words.

That is beautiful. One of the nicest whites I have seen.

I think using the white tubes is a great idea. I had trouble with the first acrylic type pen I made, also white, where the paint scraped off enough at the nib end during assembly to show thru! :redface:
Was never sure if it was the way I painted it or what ... but now I plan to use the special tubes whenever I can (think ahead), to avoid trouble.

That pen is a beauty!
