Turned this one last weekend. One of 4 different Vintage colors Jonathon (Brooks803) offers at exoticblanks. I was lucky enough to get some of each color.
I was amazed how much this material reminds me of bakelite after turning and polishing. Has the depth you usually see in bakelite and has more of the white swirl figure which usually disapears after turning down bakelite.
This is the crimson color Jonathon makes which looks just like the old red and white rods of bakelite when buffed and polished. You did a great job making these Jonathon :good::good:
On this pen I painted the inside of blank bright red and used a silver/chrome tube. I was very happy with the way this one turned out.
Thanks for looking, Keith "mrburls"
