Woodturningz new 'Galaxy' blank

[pssherman]

Here is a Platinum & Black Titanium Sierra made with Woodturningz new inlace acrylester diamond series - Galaxy blank. The surface looks like it has very tiny pits (air bubbles) that seem to be caused by the glitter in the blank. I did not put a coat of CA on this but I think that a coat of CA would provide a better/smoother surface.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks

Looks cool but seems like it needs something else in it. It's got nothing to focus on.

I put a coat of CA on the one I did, and made it nice and smooth.

You can see them if you blow it way up. Looks like a nice blank - you're right about needing a finish to fill the pits. Are they caused by the shiny bits popping out?

Nice pen . Good job !

Nice pen, I think the pit are the nature of the beast with that blank, a bit of CA will smooth them out like glass.

Wow, I like that! The blank's name says exactly what it reveals - in my mind. Great!

QUESTION: I looked for the blank on Woodturningz and could not find that blank. Any links would be appreciated.

I looked under "Acrylic Acetate" and "Inlace Acrylic" and did not see it.

Hank for some reason it is not up yet on the site. IRCC when they came out, the were offered as a weekly special before they started selling them. Anyhow, I bet if you called they could tell you. (or you could email them)

I found a post for group buy on that blank and signed up. I usually don't get involved on group buys, but had to on this one.

Thanks for the information.

Hank,
The galaxy blanks were part of the first biweekly sale of the year, which ended on Monday. BTW, it is their biggest sales event and is always the first 2 weeks of the new year. If you are not getting the emails about the biweekly sales, you can sign up online.

Woodturningz is fast and efficient, I placed an order on Monday afternoon and received it on Thursday. Even though they were very buzy filling orders from the sales event they still shipped the next day.

Great job on that pen. I had a couple of those blanks come in with a recent order. I was wondering what it would look like finished. Excellent Work!
