I made two Zen RB's over the weekend. I really like this style.

Here are four that I made by request for a Friday delivery.

2 acrylics - Lava and Violet (WC)
1 Wood - Red Cedar (Gary Max)
1 Metallic (My new Daily Driver) - It has a red/bronze color to it. (Exotic Blanks - Freebee)

Wood is finished with 2 coats Med. CA and MM to 12K then waxed.
Acrylic is finished with MM to 12K, polished with Adams Clear Polish, then waxed.
The Metallic is MM to 12K and waxed. I hand painted the black stripes on each end. I parted out a couple of bubbles and then filled with CA, then painted. I will likely give them another coat of paint this afternoon. There is no inclusion on the Metallic, it's just the reflection of the cap.

Thanks for looking.

Hopefully this pic is a little better. The Metallic seems to play with the camera settings. I can't seem to get it to focus correctly.

Thank you. That blank has been fairly popular.
I've sold 1 Zen, 1 Cigar, 1 Slimline and 2 Wall Street pens, all using the Lava blank from (WC) - dressed in chrome hardware.

Thank you for the kind words. I'm still learning with every pen I turn. Tons of mistakes, provide the opportunity to learn how to fix them.

Thx again..
