It's been a while since I posted an pictures. Here's my latest efforts. Comments/suggestions/critique welcome!!

1. PSI Art Deco with Chilean Lapis Tru Stone
2. Gent and Jr Gent with Tru Stone (Red with gold web and Persian Turquoise)
3. Jr Statesman with M3 Metal - Damascus Steel
4. Jr Gent Gold Ti with Wild Horse Jasper

All were gifts except the Jr Statesman. That's for me!

Some of the picts aren't that great, but hope you enjoy. Thanks to R&B Crafts for the great blanks.

Very Nice Pens Rick !!!
Were the pen blanks casted by you, or did you buy them?

Nice Pens, Good Job! Tru-stone is a wonderful product! But nothing like a little factory explosion to jump the cost up! I dread paying for my next order, I suspect it will be even more expensive.

Think positive, maybe they will lower the price to get customers back....:smile:

Than again, maybe not...:frown:

They all look great. How was the metal blank to work with, any special tools?

The M3 was a little harder to turn, no special tools, but I did have to sharpen an extra time during the process. The material is harder, but it just took longer to MM and polish. The lapis was harder, no special tools, but plenty of sharpening and really had to go slow.

Thanks all for the comments.
