Actually the one on the left is a Polaris from Timberbits and the one on the right is an Atlas from WC.
My daughter asked me to make a black Altlas with the Red Pearl Acrylic Acetate I bought from Richard Greenwald at MAPG (thanks, Richard). As I was turning the one on the left, I lost concentration and a 3/4" chunk of the material came off at the cap end.
As it was just one piece, I used some CA and reattached the acrylic. After turning, the scar is barely visable,:biggrin: but as I know it is there, I dressed it in a chrome Polaris and am using it as a carry pen. I then went to work on another piece of the Red Pearl. This one captured all of my attention :biggrin: and It came out well.
The contrast between the black hardware and the Red Pearl is stunning, but it is not a pen I would have made for myself. I hope my daughter likes her new pen.
