My first non-wood pen....

[punkinn]

turned out (pun intended) quite nice, if I do say so. The photos don't show the nice, crisp gloss for some reason... take my word for it, it's like glass.

I also turned a piece of Asian Pink Coral Tru-Stone but there was literally NO design in it at all, so I didn't even assemble it. This is the first time I've not been thrilled with something I got from CSUSA. [B)] I know there are variations in patterns with these things, etc but this was literally all pink - no white design at all. Oh well. I do like the acrylic (above)... wow non-woods are really very easy! No grain to fill, and finishing is much simpler.

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions and instructions on drilling, turning and finishing alternative materials!

Beautiful work, Nancy. Obviously you paid close attention to all the suggestions you got and added your touch to finish the project.

Sorry to hear about the other blank. Unfortunately, that happens on occasion.
