This is my second pen using egg shells as a base on my tubes. Pen is a PSI magnetic Vertex with Gold fittings. I did this one a little different than the first by turning larger Maple barrels so I could build up a CA finish instead of having to cast PR over the shells. Cuts out a few steps and gives me more controll of the final finish on the pen. Egg shells, after being soaked in bleach overnight, are applied to Maple barrels with Tacky Glue, filed and sanded to 1200. A green Alcohol Ink was applied as a base coat, followed by a watermellon colored Ink, and a light sanding to bring out some lighter portions of the shells. Finished with a buldup of thich CA ti bring the pen to the correct size. Jim S
