Black Rose

[Jim in Oakville]

Hello,


I’m having fun with pin chucks and exploring design with solid pens. This is one I made this week, the blank is a Lucite called black rose. I have been buying this Lucite from PipeMakers Emporium in Phoenix Az, as have some other pen turners as well. This one has a dense black with a blend of red to it, great for not showing a tube inside.

The material is on a junior gentlemen’s platinum roller ball

I am having fun making these…it’s a better test of hand skill and allows design to be a function of the over all shape. I have been inspired by some other pen makers so this shape is not original, but it’s got potential I think.

It’s not that easy to get the static dust off the pen as you can see either, I cleaned this one a few times…missed a few.
Thanks for viewing,

Critiques are welcome please

Take care,
Jim

Looks great Jim

Try a bounce cloth maybe. Great for getting rid of static. Dont believe it will scratch it, i hope.

Nice pen there Jim, i must try some of the Lucite. Good classic shape tp the pen.
I finish of my non wood pens with T-Cut car colour restorer, works very well and you don't seem to get much static off it.[]

Nice looking pen. Lucite is great to turn, just wish it sold better.

Nice design on that one. Your lucite seems to have a lot more red in it than the ones i recently received. I like it.
