Very nice work! I have wanted to try one of those blanks I think they are very cool.

Berea Sierra kit, oldfoxpenblanks.com
Last three I made were from these two vendors - I liked how they turned out.
Now for some higher end kits... :biggrin::banana:

Beautiful pen - Love the colors.
Did you paint the tube under the purple? If so, what color?

How great to here from you Bob!!!
Hopefully you are starting to get back into your routine. I suspect you have a lot ahead of you, but I've been thinking of you.
FYI: IF (know its a big if) you think you may be able to attend the Midwest Meeting, I have a 15 seat passenger van and will take passengers! Just a thought. No problem picking you up and dropping you off (Wifey is welcome also). My schedule is good for any departure/return.
I've started to play with polymer clay due to you
Take Care

Yes! Purple.
I did both the tube and the blank. It was a tight fit, but it made a big difference. No shadows, no glue visible, the extra minutes was well worth it. I actually drilled 6 Sierras, painted, left overnight and glued the next day with epoxy. Turned one the next 6 days.
These blanks are nice to work with, but ever so slightly translucent, so I'll take the time to paint!

Nice blank...and just as nice a job finishing it. I really like that purple....painting the tube really makes it deep. Is that Buckeye burl?
