EDIT: Sorry about the bad pics - still getting used to my photo booth!
I got to do three pens this weekend, two of which were red. The first is acrylic from Martin at Woodbin in Canada. The only thing I don't like about these blanks is how long they take to get here! My customer had already purchased a platinum rollerball baron from the same material (he saw the one I made for the Pen in the Hat and tried to buy it form me!), and was anxious to get a matching fountain pen. The blanks took a while to arrive (I had some trouble with drilling his rollerball and went through both of the blanks I had) due to having to work through customs - nothing that Martin could control.
Anyway, I gave this pen to my customer this morning, and he was beyond thrilled. The pics don't do it justice, as there are white specks in the pics that aren't really there - must be bright flashes from the flash.

This next pen is for my inventory, and is made from resin imported from Italy.
