Purple Haze.......

[JWS Penworks]

Well actually the blank is an Acrylic Blank from Craft Supply USA called "Crocus." The pen is a late Christmas Gift for my Daughter. The kit I used is called "Roadster." It is also from Craft Supply Co. I finished it by wet sanding with 600 grit, and then on to Micro Mesh through 12,000. I then used Brasso, and then I waxed it with Renaissance Wax.

Well, here it is...

Thanks for looking,
John

Wow that is a stunning blank. I may have to get some of those for my purple loving customers.

Good looking pen. I keep a couple of those blanks on hand just for the ladies that are always wanting a purple pen. Actually I have sold some to men customers too.

I really like it, my wife would grab it. So I wouldn't have to worry about selling it.

BTW Why the wax?

I am still kinda new to this and that's what my finishing instructions for the blank said to use. I probably didn't need it as it looked like glass after the brasso.

I am still learning,

The gold kit with that blank has some sort of very gaudy appeal. Looks very good together, although it really shouldn't. Interesting.
