Earth Photochromic Cigar Pen

[Bree]

I turned one of my Wolftat Photochromics Sunday. You never know what the heck you will find inside his blanks. They look non-descript on the outside unturned but they sure POP when you work them. My SO said that this one looked like the earth with oceans and continents. So I guess it is an Earth Pen!!

Wet sanded 150-1200 and MM-12,000 full cycle, Meguiar's Scratch X2.0 and PlastX Polish along with some Ren Wax.

The pen sure shimmers in sunlight. Too bad that can't be seen in the PIX.

Several peeps tried to snag it Sunday when I showed it. You have to keep a tight rein on the Wolftat Photochromics or they are GONE!!

PS The tubes are unpainted brass. I thought they would compliment the color scheme. Turns out that the opacity made that choice irrelevant.

That is very nice. What a great surprise.

I like the shape you have on the cigar. Mine have been coming out to skinny. I need to fatten them up a bit.

Very nice pen. I will have to get some of those blanks.

Very nice. It does have a ocean feel.

My only critique.... That pen needs a neutral/white background rather than the wood tone.

Nicely done. It sure is a beautiful blank and you've done a great job showing it off with your turning and finish.

Love the photochromatics. Great pen! My wife keeps trying to snag the photochromatics I make. Guess i will have to get one just for her....and make her turn it!

That is one awesome pen!

I agree ... it looks like the view of earth that astronauts see!

Cool pen.

Thanks guys. The person who really deserves the credit is Wolftat who made the blank. I don't know how he does it but he always has something special in his blanks.

Great looking pen Bree. I'm going to have to actually take some time out and make a few myself.

Bree that is a wild pen, I know what you mean about the photochromics not showing what they actually look like, I love turning Neils blanks, full of surprises
