Here's what can happen when you throw the color wheel into a batch of resin! This is a 7 color Alumilite pour. Needless to say I had to work FAST!
Here's the raw blank fresh from the pressure pot:

Then turned down a few mm on the metal lathe:

It looks a bit dark and drab, but once I got it drilled out and turned down more the light hit it and WOW! I was doin the happy dance :biggrin:
I also tried a new shape. I really like the torpedo look. I think it was the perfect choice for the blank. The section is of the same blank, I just used a part that didn't have as much going on so it wouldn't be to overbearing. I purposely did a satin finish on it. It's sporting a steel Schmidt nib.
