I found it to be kinda easy to work with.....sharp tools are key....

Great looking pen! I would like to re-emphasize the sharp tool comment. It is the biggest key to acrylics.

Nice pen! I don't think I've seen that color acrylic before - where did it come from?

How many of you use finish on acrylic? I tend to just apply some renaissance wax to it, and I think it looks great after MM to 12000.

I'm with Ed, in addition to the mm 12000 and wax, I wet sand/mm and then use a plastic polish prior to the renaissance wax.
