M3 Titanium Mokume Jr Retro

[southernclay]

I haven't had much shop time lately but had to make some last night to turn. M3 Composite Innovations was nice enough to make an offer of buy 1 get 1 free more or less and since I've wanted to try an M3 blank for a while figured now was the time.

I ordered the white and I am really pleased with how it turned out. My camera is packed up so pics don't do it justice but hopefully get across a little of the beauty. The material was awesome to turn. I used carbide and had some pretty ribbons flying off. It sanded and finished nicely using the polish that is recommended with the product. The material has some beautiful tiny flecks close up. Anyway, try it, you'll like it! :biggrin:

Thanks to Michael/M3 for making the offer.

C&C welcome and thanks for looking.

Cam out really nice!! I like the "figure" in yours more than the one I did. Great job on the finish too!

That is very nice!

Very, very nice Warren! How did you finish please?

 

[southernclay]

Thanks all!

Tony I dry sanded, 240 through 600 then 100 (they recommend through 800 but don't have any). Then polished with part A twice and part B twice. Not a lot of polish either time.

Thanks Warren. Well done!

Good Job and pictures

I'm just about to order and I think your post may make me order one today.

Very nice

Use the left over, if there is enough, to do a custom finial to top it off

Hey Harry,
Definitely enough, I like the little some top in the retro though. Not sure if you can pop the finial out or not. I almost picked a jr gent 2 and would've done that for sure.

One thing that would be nice is for these to be available in 7/8" for the larger sized pens. I don't make many but for the turners that do I would think there would be an outlet for them.

Very nice job! I enjoy working with M3 and you did it well. Careful drilling and 3/4 will work on the larger pens!

 

[southernclay]

Thanks Keith! I know it can be done, need to practice on some cheap blanks one day.

Appreciate all the nice comments and likes folks!
