Well, despite my fears after reading a lot of the posts here, and being an absolute butcher when I try to use an HSS skew, I decided on a whim to give inlace acrylester a try.

Now, I don't know if it's because it was full of shredded cash so that made it less chippy, or the Magical Skew that I just received from Bob at T.Shadow really is magic, but it wasn't bad to turn at all. Rhino blanks give me more fits than this did!

I back-painted it green, turned it at 3,800 RPM, wet sanded from 220-600 and then hit it with Tripoli and White Diamond on the buffing wheel. It sold from my personal facebook post before I even got it listed on my business page!

I think I'll be turning a lot more acrylester in the future!

Excellent Pen Scott.
Great Shredded Cash Blank, Nicely Turned and Finished.
It was excellent that it sold so promptly, as in business, you "Need Fast Cash Flow" to Succeed.
Congratulations,
Brian.
