I had no idea what was lurking inside this blank when I went to turn it...hell even when I made it I wasn't sure of the outcome. I was trying something new with dyes and a touch of mica powder. Wow :eek:. I was worried that if I used black tubes it would make the yellow in the blank turn green (DAMHIK) so I used nickel plated tubes on this one. I do like the gun metal plating for the cigar, I was ticked though when I went to put the clip on bc it was twisted badly and I couldn't get it straight. Luckily I had a black enamel clip sitting around and it looks good on it I think. Finish is MM to 12000, Buffed with Tripoli and White Diamond, and polished with PlastX. Thanks for looking and for any comments left!

Johnathan, that's one cool looking pen. heck if that's experimentation then you gotta do it more often. I think you can never tell how those stuff turn out. Nice job and the clip goes with it very fine.
