Wow, seriously, that's just pink ivory? You didn't mix any glitter in the finish? It looks like an acrylic, very sparkly. Looks great Lou!

That looks awesome! Did you wipre over it with gold glitter paint, then sand down and CA over? The gold kit really brings out the gold glitter in there. Nice job!!

That's the chatoyancy of the wood itself.
Very nice, Lou! It's so difficult for me to capture the chatoyance in photos. Beautiful!

Yep, he's back to not only pretty wood pens but outstanding wood pens, and the photo ain't shabby either.

Wow! Another beauty, Lou thanks for sharing!
Thank you each for the generous comments. The finish is not obtained by either painting the blank or by adding glitter to the lacquer. It's a relatively new process that I started working on about 4 years ago, after being inspired by Russ Fairfield's work. I'm really pleased that Russ never offered a tutorial, but let me play with it on my own. There's a lot of satisfaction in achievement. FYI, the wood is from Keith Larrett at Zambezi Exotics. Until recently, Keith was our Librarian.

Ditto -- a lot of what I've seen would be better named "brown" ivory -- yours is a great color and great job turning/finishing/photographing!

Again, thank you for the kind and generous words. And Toni, in the immortal words of Carrie Fisher "Surrender the Pink".
