With my wife working and my immediate family being out of town I had alot of free time today. I spent some of that time in the shop doing something I don't get to do as much as I'd like...TURN! Here are the 3 I made earlier.
First is a Black & Gold Ti Le Roi. The blank is one of my own and was reverse painted black. It was hard to get a good pic of the color differences but there are 4 shades of red/orange in there.
Second is a Rhodium & Black Ti Sierra. The blank is again one of mine and was reverse painted blue. I was really happy when I saw how it looked when I turned the lathe off!
A couple closeups:
Last but not least is a Black Ti Jr. Gent II FP. I exchanged the nib for a Bock. The blank is mine and I reverse painted this one a dark navy blue.
Closeup:
The finish on all of them was MM to 12000 and polished with PlastX. I also want to give a HUGE thank you to my good friend Hans for sending me some sandpaper. I was all out and he sent some out to me to last until I can get to my supplier. As always thanks for looking! Hope you all had a great Turkey Day. I get to celebrate mine tomorrow :biggrin:
