Amber

[Old Griz]

Finished this one this morning, just before my back started to act up... gonna have to get the heating pad out...

Alternative Amber Jr Statesman .. material from Tangboy
This material is fairly translucent... I used a Prismacolor Marker (BitterSweet) on the tubes... gave them three coats...

Just received one of those blanks last week. Great looking pen. Would you mind saying where i could pick up one of those marker pens ?

Great lookin pen Tom! I can sympathize with your back pain, heat pads should give you "some" relief though![xx(][][]

Lance,
Most of the bigger art supply stores will have the Prismacolors. Some craft stores (Michael's, ACMoore, etc.) will also have some of the more "standard" colors. The markers are, IMHO, on the expensive side (about $3-5 per marker), but you can also get them on eBay for a great price.

He he he...sorry Tom! I got distracted...that's a sweet looking pen! I hope mine comes out even close to that nice!

Great job, Tom! I like the color and the finish is brilliant.

Lance you will be a lot more satisfied if you get some flat paint and paint both the tubes and the holes of the blanks. I've been doing a lot of these blanks lately and the only ones that I am really happy with are the ones that I painted both tubes and holes. I gave the tubes one coat and the holes two. Any acrylic or even the little bottles of model paints work well.

Excellent pen and photo Griz. Get that heating pad on the back an let it rest a little.

That looks great! I broke the first amber that I tried, but I think I figured out what I did wrong and will get more.
