Mexican Agate

[wizard]

Made it early this morning. The blank is from Dawn and Ed at Exotic Blanks. It's Mexican Agate on a Black Titanium Navigator Rollerball. Definitely have to use really sharp tools! Used black nickel tubes. I really like this blank. It is fiery and beautiful. The pictures don't really capture the depth to this blank. I've made another one on a Navigator Fountain Pen but I wanted to try a Rollerball. Sanded from 150 to 600 grit, MM (wet) from 1200 to 12000 and finished with HUT Plastic Polish and Ren wax. Thank you so much for taking the time to look! Doc

Yep, that certainly is a stunning blank and you made a perfect job of it too!!!

Great job and you must have been up real early to do this. I am still waiting for them to get some more of that stuff in. Makes for a sharp looking pen. Thanks for showing.

Nice work Doc. Beautiful finish!

That looks good! I just read the description on Ed's site about that blank. There aren't many that have "keep your tools scary sharp and patience is a must" in the title. Good job!

Wonderful pen. I truly hate to say this, but a work of art such as that should be exihibited behind heavy Lexan. That is just too beautiful to carry. Sorry Doc.
