Yesterday's pen was one of four (#1 was chosen by the client). All 4 use different materials. This one uses inlace acrylester.
I don't see it used much for kitless pens. It should be. It has a unique look and color combos.

Inlace Acrylester is tough to turn and nearly impossible to thread well. You've overcome that by using multiple materials to make it work! Bravo! As you found, using its benefits are cool colors and it polishes exceptionally well. Nice pen!

Love it. I like the segmenting and I have to borrow the idea of materials you used when I get back into making pens. The materials work very well together. Excellent design. Thanks for showing and keep up the great work.

Thanks! I've been surprised that no one else (that I've seen) is using it for anything other than kit pens. Plus, with its hardness the gloss holds much longer than most synthetics.

Thanks John,
Actually no segmenting involved. Just grooves cut in the blank. It does have the appearance of individual pieces though.
My inspiration was the look of abalone blanks.
