Started this last night and finished today. It's one of John Goodin's aluminum blanks on a Black Titanium Jr. Gentleman brought to a satin finish. Turned with carbide tools, sanded to 600 grit, MM (wet) from 1200 to 12000 grit, and then brought to a mirror finish with Brasso Polish. To get a satin finish, I air etched the pen on the lathe at slow speed with a Paasche Air Eraser using AE-X cutting compound at 50 lb/sq in. I had previously made an aluminum Navigator pen that I left as a "shiny thingy".
Hope everyone has a great weekend. As always, thank you for taking the time to look. Doc
