Here is a red and white pearl acrylic pen with pearl European fittings. Was thinking this might appeal to women or to some OU fans in my area. Kirk [8D]

Very nice Kirk !
One thing that I've not tried as of yet is turning acrylics . Tried a piece of Corian once but I was using too high a speed on the drill press and blew it out the side .

Good choice of kit to go with the red and white. They really compliment eachother. Very Nice!

Nice job Kirk. The shape you used on the lower barrel really adds some flair to it.

Thanks for the compliments. I guess I was right about it appealing to the ladies, Bev. [
] Doug, acrylics definitely require sharp tools and a light hand. The acrylester resins are, I think, even harder to turn. Get too dull or too agressive and you can create a blow out. Sometimes you can recover from a blowout. Also some of the acrylics create an acrid odor that takes more that a simple dust mask. The results are usually worth the extra effort. [] Kirk [8D]

Nice pen Kirk! The pearl fittings really look nice with that acrylic! Is that one of HUT's colors?

No Scott, it comes from my local Hogan Woods store. This is where I get a lot of my acrylics and acrylester resins. Kirk[8D]

Very pretty pen!! I like how you did the lower barrel---hmmmm might just have to try something similar to that.

Kirk,
Do you have a link or something where one could maybe order some of this stuff? I have a couple of OU fans that would really like this.

Sorry Mark no links. Most of my present resins I got at my local Hogan Woods store. If I remember they didn't have more of what you see but I will look next time I'm on that side of town. These would be good one's to have available. I'm still keeping an eye out for any red/white ideas for pens for such reasons. I might sometime order some of the PVC rods to make some OU pens. I need to get on the ball before football season is over....however basketball is starting [
