Southwest Atrax

[dpstudios]

This was a nightmare. Pen barrel is alt. coral. Cap was going to be the same until it blew up on me. Had a piece of TruStone turquoise and some blackwood,so decided to go for the southwest look. Laid out the materials, came up with a design and cut and glued everything up using CA. Drilled on lathe and it came apart. Re-glued on the tube and turned. Bushings stuck and it broke apart once again. Re-glued, again. Sanded, again. Polished, again. Victory! And here is the result. Please enjoy. As always C & C's welcome.

Looks like it was worth all the effort, it's a beauty.

I would say "SUCCESS!"

The joints look excellent , the spacing and choice of materials/colors is very appealing.

And the difficulty you had makes it all the more impressive. Well done.
