First Acrylic attempt......

[Deere41h]

This was my first attempt at turning Acrylic. My wife gave me a batch of blanks for my birthday and I am having fun turning/learning something new. This is a Platinum Baron with blank from Berea. I will be posting more pictures as I get them taken. Now I need to improve you picture skills as well. Comments and critiques welcome.

If you look at that blank just right there is a woman on there. Great looking pen.

Nice looking pen John. I don't think that background helps that pen out too much though, sort of distracting with the swirls on the pen.

John,
Great job on the first acrylic. I agree with Sam, the background takes away too much from the pen.

Johnny, don't know what you're smokein' man []

Great job on the pen, John. Acrylic grows on you-it can be really pretty and after its finished and the fittings are in, I have never had one crack (benefit over wood).

Your wife made a good choice, that acrylic is predictable to work with.

Well done. I like acrylic myself. What a challenge.
