A Custom and a Quickie

[Kaspar]

First up is an Olympia in white Lucite, custom engraved by Ken at Kallenshaan Woods, with a musical motif. For a repeat customer who likes to give something special to graduating grand kids, etc. This graduate will be going into music. So that works.



And the quickie is this PSI Antique Pewter Celtic Twist with white web trustone and the Celtic Cross specialty clip. I normally find specialty clips very, very cheesy, but this one I truly like.



This pen I'll be keeping for a while, I think. At least until I can do the gold one with the gold C-Cross clip in Arizona Jade. :biggrin:

No, but it's easy. Get a black (or whatever color) acrylic, work it in over the pattern and wipe the excess off with rubbing alcohol on a paper towel. Let it dry. Three coats were needed on this one. I seal it with thin CA. Then I put it back on the lathe, put on a couple more coats of thin CA and and polish it again starting with 2400 MM.
