Team colors

[Old Goat]

Getting ready for the hometown fall festival so doing a series in school colors of orange and blue. 30 cal bolt-action pen, 30 cal bolt-action pencil, soccer twist pen, baseball curveball (bolt-action) pen, basketball twist pen, and football twist pen. Football and 30 cal pen look a little different since I didn't use the crush blanks on them (30 cal is coral tide acrylester so it's really different)

My wife is an Auburn grad so she would heartily approve.

Nice batch. My son just changed jobs and the university colors are orange and blue. I really like the blanks that are divided in half long ways. Where did you get those? Thank you for sharing.

I used taped the two blanks together (orange crush and sapphire blue crush) and then run them through the bandsaw so they both have the same edge. I put a thin strip of white and glue the opposing colors together for the two color blank. I used two of the leftover ends and glued them up for the baseball pen.

I've seen people do that but never tried it. I guess it's about time I broaden my skills. Ha Ha. Thanks for the tip along with the color blanks you used.

Nice looking pens. But I have to say, your background is very distracting.

Nice pens. Tennessee would require Big Orange colors.
Use a solid color as tan or light grey for a background. White will cause glare.
My father went to The School of Hard Knocks. He said the school colors were black and blue.

I use a white microfiber towel as a background. I don't notice any glare.
