This is a blank from Woodturningz - an Inlace Acrylester called Cotton Candy Pink. I've been working on testing different pink blanks from Woodcraft, PSI, Berea, Woodpenpro, and BearTooth Woods.
This particular blank is what I like the best - great color saturation, nice pink hue, and it turned like a dream. Very consistent, with ability to hold the fine details without getting ragged. Sanded up nicely in the tight spots, too.
Turned with 5/8" skew, wet sanded 400, 600, then Micromesh to 12k. Hut Crystal Coat, then Ren Wax final.
These Berea kits are still on sale for $10. There's a Platinum version, too. They are the same tube size as the standard Sierra and are cross-compatible with the bushings and Sierra kits.
