Wow! That is nice, Lou. What technique did you use to fill the eye checks with a different color?

That is truly unique. It goes good with the black hardware.
Gary...it's gold pigment that I dropped in, then a drop of thin CA. Thanks, Dale. The woods of the world sure help make me look good.

The fill in is really sharp. Man that Atlas kit is getting very popular.

Lou, very nice! I've only sold one of the Atlas pens but everyone seems to like it. That ones really sharp, I don't think I've seen one made of Karri before.

COOL!
A Paisley pen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really like the looks of the atlas/geminii.polaris pens
(HMMMMMMMM doesn't that sound familiar?)
But they are too short to feel comfortable to write with.
I still make them but haven't sold any which is why I extended the top on the one I posted.
Where'd you get te blanks?

Thanks again for all of the feedback. In answer to your questions: William--I got the gold pigment from Michael's. It's called Perfect Pearls-Metallic. John--I haven't even ordered the black CA, but still plan to. Eagle--I got the blanks from www.leetreewoodworks . Lee Tannenbaum is a member here.

Lou...is that pigment a powder?

Very nice Lou, and quite unussual piece of wood. Who makes all these trees?

Yes, it's a powder. FYI, I fill the gaps before I final sand, that way I don't have to be quite so careful with the powder and CA. Final sanding takes care of my "slips".
If no one else pipes up, I take ALL the credit (then give it back on Sunday).

It looks like a great technique. I can see how the powder would just "wick up" the CA.
