Zebra Knot

[splinter99]

Found this in a scrap pile..knot section of some nicely figured zebra. I filled in the voids with some Harbor Freight Epoxy mixed with pearlx pigments..Had to fill it a couple of times as new holes would keep poping up..Finished with ca/blo and dipped in magna sheild laquer

Kit is PSI Gatsby...Thanks for looking

Wow... who would think that was made from stuff at HF. Excellent looking pen!

Man that IS beautiful Harold ! Thanks for posting it & for the HF info . I'm going there this week-end ! [8D]

What a pretty pen! I had no idea HF sold epoxy.

That is just an outstanding pen! And to think you pulled it off without $800 worth of casting tools and supplies! []

 

[splinter99]

Yeah, the epoxy was only 87 cents a couple of weeks ago,
(I have the pressure pot etc but ran out of resin so I thought I would just color some epoxy and smear it into the voids)

It turned out beautiful.

The finish was given to me from a member of our turning club..It is Hood Magna Shield High Gloss Laquer..It is a pre cat laquer and dries in about 1/2 hr. You can recoat as often as you like..I do a quick ca finish first then dip once or twice..Then I just buff it out in a couple of hours

I really like that, very distinctive--- "singular" as Sherlock Holmes would have said.
