This last weekend in penturning was a mixed bag. I experienced the following:
1. Did a Princess pen for a customer with a simple segmentation in mother of pearl and black acrylic and forgot to paint the inside of the MOP resulting in a beautiful pen where the white MOP fades to brass at the nib. I have already glued up the replacement lower section.
2. Received some amazing curly Mimosa and screwed up the CA finish on the first one I made. White flecks in the finish (I have researched the issue and will sand it all down and redo it.
3. Made a fountain pen for a friend's daughter with the friend's assistance. He picked the kit and material and although it came out technically excellent, I don't like it at all... I will not post photos of it.
4. Bought a Bealle lathe-mounted polishing system and used it on an acrylic pen and I love it... it works great and saves me a ton of time with MM.
5. Made 3 beautiful pens that I want to show off.
The first is a Majestic Jr in Cebloplast Festival from Ed.
Then a Zen in Burning Sunset from Slabsblanksandboards.
Lastly a Hancock in Teal Temptress from Ed. (I used the Bealle on this one)
