The first one is a shredded currency blank on a black titanium baron kit. I painted the tubes a dull grey and after seeing it in the end, it matches my ACU (Army Combat Uniform) quite nicely. Closest thing I've seen to a digital camoflage in a pen yet.
This second pen is their alternate briar pen that was thrown in the box as a freebie. When I got it, my 1 year old chipped the end of it off, so I had a spare cutoff from a previous pen of Irish Bog Oak that I didn't want to waste. So I added that in instead of the standard Euro style end cap.
Both pens were turned primarily with a skew (I'm really trying to concentrate on using just this to practice, its amazing what a sharp skew can do) and finished to 12k MM, a CA finish to smooth them out, and Ren. wax to finish.
There is a bit of wax left in the grooves of the Irish Bog Oak that I'm having a heck of a time trying to get out. Anyone have any suggestions?
I'm still working on the photography stuff. I think the top picture came out much nicer, but it was also taken outside in natural light as opposed to indoors with a flash.
Thanks for any comments.
