Imperial Dragon

Got some time this morning to turn another of 'You-Know-Who's blanks.:biggrin:
I'm not sure why, but like several of his blanks, I prefer not to bring the blank to a high gloss. I think they just don't need it. I like this one a lot!!
Comments or critiques welcome as always.:biggrin:

Yes, that really looks super Steve! Running the acrylic instead of bloodwood is a substantial improvement. That's one of my favorite dragons too...I like the aggressive nature of it.

Hey I finally found something I can disagree with you on Skip. I think a high gloss is a better look on any plastic or bakelite. The glossier the better. A tuned down gloss looks good on wood products so it does not have a plastic feel to it. Other than that the pen looks great as usual. Thanks for showing.

That looks cool. I saw those and want to get some. I hope I can do half as nice a job as you've done. Beautiful job!

Nicely done... I'm not sure these blanks are my cup of tea, but they're nicely made, and the finished product looks good.
