Alt ivory with blood wood cross

[altaciii]

It's ashame that I cannot take credit for creating the blank for this pen. It turned like butter and took a shine like very few others I have turned. The blank, thank you Gene (elmostro) you make a mean blank. Its the same body I just switched the nib for my web site. Turned then polished to 12k mm twice once dry then wet. What yall think?
Thanks for looking.

Beautiful. What kind of alt ivory is that? Most turners claim the stuff from CS is hard, hard, hard.

If I'm not mistaken I think it is white alumilite.

Alex, that's a beautiful pen. Eugene does beautiful work with his blanks and you did a great job on the pen!

Those turners would be NUTS, NUTS, NUTS!!!

Alternative ivory is actually fairly soft for a resin, MUCH softer than commercial acrylic. It IS a little more difficult to turn than Alumilite or PR though.

I'm sorry Alex --- YOUR pen is beautiful and Gene, you did a great job on the blank!!

Beautiful pen! Don't you just love how this material turns and polishes? For those that do not know the blank is made of Alumilite. It turns very easily and is not prone to chipping.

That's a very beautiful pen Alex, Eugene does make some gorgeous blanks, I've heard that the Alumilite turns easier than regular Polyester Resin, and I've blown up a couple of Alternative Ivory blanks, but I still like them. Our Mr Brown aka the Resinator also carries the authentic Alternative Ivory, look at my Avatar.
