I figured I would post all of my recent creations in one post versus multiple posts so here goes:
I made up some custom Eagle Scout Pen Blanks using adhesive back silver foil and hand painted red and blue bands using HVAC tape. Cast in PR and set on a couple Mesas. I just bought some mylar tape so I don't have to hand paint the bands anymore so we shall see how they turn out on the next set.
Next up is my first waterslide decal attempt. My best friend is getting married on Friday and part of his wedding present will be this maple burl cigar pen with a NC State block S waterslide logo. Had a high spot on the decal that came off near the top but overall for my first attempt I am pretty happy with how it turned out. Wish the maple burl blank had a bit more figure in it.
Finally my friends soon-to-be wife is a nurse and loves the color green so I had made up some custom alumilite blocks using what I dubbed "mahi-mahi" colors ( blue, neon green and yellow dyes with interference green powder and metallic blue powder) . Mated it with a gold Stratus clicker. I figured as a nurse she needed a clicker versus a twist mechanism) and finished it off with a few coats of CA to make it pop!
