Hi Everyone,
Just pulled this one hot of the lathe, I now understand why everyone pays so much money for Bakelite, the stuff Turns, Polishes and looks Fantastic, this is the first pen I have made with Bakelite, the piece had a lot of small hairline cracks that made the pen look even better. IMHO
I used a Imperial Rhodium / 22k Gold Fountain Pen kit, that I bought from Craft Supply. The Butterscotch Bakelite I bought on Ebay, turned and polished with Micro-Fiber to 12,000
Let me know what you think about the pen.
