This is another fantastic Banksia blank George sent me from down under. I used a Washington Rollerball pen kit from Rockler in 14K Gold and Black. The tubes and blanks were treated with a Watermellon Alcohol Ink to tint them a metalic red. Finished with 8 coats of thick CA, sanded to 1200, and Polished with One-Step Plastic Polish. This blank was not for the faint at heart!! It had some voids to fill. and the bottom third of the lower blank blew up on me. Luck was with me and I was able to repair the blank. Blank also had a lot of clear spots that worked in my favor to bring out the metalic tubes. Sorry for the bad photos, I used a desk lamp and hand held !! Jim S
Note to George: You don't know how much it pained me to have to cut up this beautiful blank to fit this kit. Great work on the blanks !! Jim S
