Woodturningz Holoflake

[hewunch]

Well, I just couldn't stand it. See, I have been a fan of Holo Flake ever since the early 90's when I saw them on Fender Guitars. So when Woodturningz said they had a Holoflake acrylic blank, well I had to break down and get some. Here it is on a Wall III

OK now that you have seen the good the bad and the ugly, here is the deal, I think this blank could stand a final coat of CA finish. Even the ends. Because the blank has a grainy feel even when finished to 12000 mm because of the media that gives it the look.

Is it a great Holoflake? Well if you are looking for something to go side by side with your Fender strat Holoflake, you will be left wanting. BUT this is none the less a very cool blank. Anyways, I thought I would share my experience.

I would love to hear if others have tried this and what they thought.

Great looking blank. I happened to see the material at Woodturningz before Ryan came out with it.

Good looking pen and I love the blank. I have been looking for a few blanks just like that! Thanks for posting this!

Cool blank Hans, just seeing the material, you can imagine how the surface would be with out some filler to glass it out, but it still looks good.

Yeah, that is why I did a coat on that one. (it is as pictured with a coat of thick CA)

I LOVE it! Where can I get some? I have got to have some Holo Flake!

EDIT: Oops, never mind. I didn't look under new products at woodturningz.com. Thanks for posting this!

THanks for the review, Hans. I was wondering what those looked like all finished.
