Here's a new one. No cap yet - will make it tomorrow. Getting a clip, too - I think.
It's made from one of those amalgam mutt blanks from bear tooth woods.
Turns REALLY easy. At least in a semi warm shop - 60s. Seems to turn easier than all the other acrylics I've worked with so far. Drilling it out is odd though. It's almost sticky. Meaning that when I turn the tail to pull out the drill bit it doesn't want to come out. Started drilling at about 600 or some rpm - sped it up a little and that helped.
Polishes and shines up REALLY easy. Probably the shiniest pen I've made so far - though it doesn't show really well in the pics.
