Here is the sequal to that ever so popular Majestic FP I made a couple weeks ago for Hans. I had to see if it wasn't a fluke that I was able to make it in the first place. Well...it was no fluke. This time around I used a much more difficult blank to work with and made it a RB. It's a Chrysocolla TruStone from R&B Crafts. Let me just say that this stuff was a pain to work with!!! I don't have one of those carbide tip tools but man I am getting one SOON. I was able to get all the pieces out of a single blank again, and this time I actually had about 1/4" of blank left (massive compared to the last pen). I was lucky with getting the pimp crystal out this time bc they glued it in crooked so I could get my dental pick under it easily. Dunno what I'll do with the ugly thing but I'll think of something. The end finial was a bit harder this time around bc they changed how they inlay the accent piece. On this one you can't knock it out with a transfer punch bc it's solid on the inside. Instead I carefully drilled it out till it came loose with no issues. Applied my usual finishing steps of MM to 12000, Buffed with Tripoli and White Diamond, and polished with PlastX. Thanks for looking and any and all comments/critiques/questions appreciated!
