Bloody Basin Red Jasper with some Bling

[jonjon]

Well here is my fist go at trustone. It is a bloody basin red jasper blank. Turning it was easier than I thought but polishing it up was a little more of a project. I ended with Mequiar's polish. It is mounted on a Venus pen kit. I like the kit but not sure it is enough to get the return on the investment. (got it during a group buy so it wasn't as bad as it could be.)

Anyhow, here it is.

Best trustone finish I've seen.

Nothing wrong with the looks and fit and finish look great. Return depends on what you want Truestone polishes well. whenever I use them I use same method as any other finish on acrylics or CA finish.

Another beautiful pen, Jon !!!

Don't sell it for under $275.00

Beautiful finished pen. The blank is excellent, the kit is well matched and you did a fine job with the turning and finishing.

Trustone does present a few issues, but easily managed with a bit of experience. I love this blank and you finished it well. I also use Maquire's products and have been happy with the results.

Well done.

Wow, that looks awesome. Now, the newbie question: What is trustone and where would one find it? Nevermind, Google is my friend. I found them.

Thank you for all of your kind comments about my pen. It is always interesting to try something new.
