Jr Retro Dress in a Steampunk Blank

[Band Saw Box]

This is the first steampunk blank I've turned. The blank and kit were sent to me by Jon David Jones (jondavidj) after I got my job at Lowe's to say congratulation. His blanks turn really nice and take a great finish. I wet sanded the blank to 12000 mm and polished with Hut Plastic Polish. This will now be my carry pen. Thanks Jon for the great blank and kit. All C & C are welcome

Sweet pen Dan!

Cool. Is that the laulau version of the retro?

Thanks Charlie and Dan for you comments. Dan I'm not sure about the kit. Jon sent it to me along with blank.

Looks great! Is that an antique brass finish on the kit parts, or a trick of the light? Either way it looks really cool!

 

[Band Saw Box]

Thanks Joe for you nice comment. I think the plating is black titanium.

Dan, superb job on the pen!!!! Did you name it? I see you're Navy, so my vote would be to call it "Old Ironsides!"
