Magma Red "Original Cactus Blank" on Black Titanium Navigator

[wizard]

Made this early this morning. It's Curtis Seebeck's Magma Red "Original Cactus Blank" from on a Black Titanium Navigator Rollerball. Hope you enjoy looking as much as I did making it. Have a great day. Doc

Wow! That is a beautiful pen, love the red magma! I've got the green one just staring at me in the shop, think I'll turn it now.

Same here. I have one that I've put off turning for some reason.

It looks great! Do these need a CA finish, or just sand and buff?

 

[wizard]

Joe, I did a CA finish. Sanded from 150 to 600 grit. Went ahead with 6 coats of CA (medium) and MM from 1500 to 12000 followed by HUT plastic polish.
I didn't head the sand and buff route so to answer to your question, I'm not sure.

Absolutely put a ca finish on them if for no other reason than to seal the skeleton on the surface.

Super nice pen, BTW

Doc, great job!!!! Cactus pens are some of my best sellers....and yes after talking to Curtis a CA finish is the way to go.
