The jr gent FP is made from one of Ed's cat blanks...its the leopard I think. I must say that the cat resin is the finest I've ever turned. It turns like a dream, sands wonderfully and polishes to as much of a shine as is desired. Thanks Ed for giving me this opportunity to experience this great material
The Gent rollerball is made from one of Curtis' cactus blanks. It has been in my "to turn" stack since last October and I finally decided to use it. It was a clear one and I painted the inside black. I've turned one one of the black resin blanks and I must say the clear really allows the depth of the cactus to show. I like the depth and dimension that the clear gives. I was a little dissappointed in how much work it took to get the Alumalite to polish and shine. I think I need to visit with Curtis before I make the next one, or do some searching in the archives.
Enjoy and comments welcome...whatever they may be.
Do a good turn daily!
