Long Clicker on experimental blank

[Brooks803]

Here is Black Ti Long Click on an experimental blank I had showed in the casting forum not too long ago. I was going for a black and white blank with turquiose veins going throughout the blank. I wish I had a better swirl with the main colors but I do like how it came out. I'm thinking of just using a solid color with the turquoise next time (what do yall think?). Finish is MM to 12000, Buffed with Tripoli & White Diamond, and polished with PlastX. Thanks for looking and for any comments/feedback!

The two places I know of is http://www.woodturnerscatalog.com/ and www.LauLauwoods.net. If you like the Jr. Retro line check out lau lau first, he has those on sale right now, and he has more platings than Craft Supply.

That is a great blank. I really like the look. The long click is one of my favorite pens. So I guess I am just real happy with your whole setup!

Thanks! I think next time I try this type of blank I'll do just 1 color (probably white) and mix in the turquoise....maybe add a very small amount of contrasting color to break it up a bit. Creative juices are flowing...must order mica!!!

I've always thought I had the vision of an artist, but only the ability of a 2yr old with a box full of half eaten crayons! I guess all those paint chips I ate as a child are finally taking effect :hypnotized: mmmm...taste the rainbow :tongue:

This made me laugh so hard.
