After reading Mr. Johnson's tutorial on another thread I had to try one. Great fun.

No, they are just polished with Brasso.

Looks good over here, too.

Looks like you got it figured out.
Nice pen.

Looks great from here----hard to beat Brasso.

Very cool looking. Any chance you can pass along a link to that TUT?

hard to beat Brasso.

Actually, it's not hard to beat Brasso. Brasso contains ammonia, which dissolves copper. Although it shines up easily, repeated polishing with Brasso will eventually make the brass brittle. That's not really a problem for pens, but something reloaders avoid.

On the other hand, that is a pretty pen. Good job.

Regards,
Eric

I like both a lot. What is the center band if you don't mind me asking? It looks like the toni twist CB but I can't really tell. Great job!

The tutorial is in the the latest Pen Shop News letter. Not sure I am suppose to post the link to another forum but I will and the monitors can remove it if it is a violation.

The center band comes from the Streamline pen kit. I got the kits from BeartoothWoods.com

By the way that is two pictures of the same pen.
