When I first saw the Jr George component set in Antique Silver, I was inspired to make a distressed pen to match. Since I live at the beach, I wanted something that would fit in with the weathered beachy furniture that is popular here.
I made this one out of curly maple, then applied acrylic paint in 3 layers: Black, Sea Foam Green and Teal Blue. Then I sanded back to the wood in several areas, sealed it with CA, then lightly sanded the gloss off of the finish.
This was a really different process for me, as I generally try to make perfect, glossy pens. I have held onto this one a while to determine if I actually like it, and it's been growing on me.
What do you think?
