Another one from the blank fairy.

This one went a good bit better. Had some work to do filling the oversized gap left because cleaning out the gun cleaning brush made it cut a LOT more aggressively than expected. I reverse painted it white. The outside of the blank had very little white showing and I thought I'd lighten the color up. That being said, the glue-up on this one went a lot better. I had to post this one to show off the blank more than anything else. I LOVE how this one looks finished. I introduced the wife to doing the centerband-less Streamline/Comfort on another one from the same box, a purplish-pink full of gold flake. Hopefully it gets posted soon. Looks AMAZING.

Nice Job, Allan.

I like this blank underpainted with black, but you made it look good with white.

I'm trying to work my way up to one that has some cryptic labeling on it. Something to the effect of "YOU MUST REVERSE PAINT THIS ONE WHITE OR I'LL CURSE YOU AND EVERY GENERATION OF YOUR FAMILY THAT FOLLOWS"

Blank fairy eh....that's funny.

Well done getting the diameter to 'look' correct without using the centerband!

Thanks! I have bushings picked for this one, so it's pretty simple to repeat the shape. I definitely like the way it makes a good blank stand out.

I'd kinda like to see the same blank reverse painted black now that I think about it.

Another nice pen Allen. Tell me....what do you put under your pillow to make the Blank Fairy thing happen? I've tried just about everything.....bags of mica powder, wooden stir sticks, even an empty bottle of MEKP........just ain't working for me.

I honestly don't know. I'm very grateful to everyone that's given me a good break with these things.

Looks really good. I like simple pens like this, it's a good shape, easy to use and takes a good beating in every day use.
