Valentines Day Gift

[benson09876]

I turned this yesterday morning as a Valentines day gift for my wife. It is the first pen that I have made for her. It is also the first all acrilic pen that I have done. I got the blank from maxman400 and put it on a PSI 24k Slimline Comfort kit. I sanded through 600, applied 8 coats of CA/BLO finish, sanded with 2000 grit and polished with Mequires headlight polish.
All comments and critiques are welcome.

I really like the looks of that! However, your background is too distracting. also, kind of curious why you used CA when you could have MM to 12000 and then the Maguires headlight polish and gotten the same results.

unless of course its made from Alumilite?

Shnazzy looking pen. I was informed that my wife already had TOOOOOOOO many pens. So I have had to go back to the drawing board.

Looking Good, The finish looks good young grasshopper, but we will cover polishing plastic later. You got a head of me... LOL
Your wife will love it, as she will meany others to come.

Sorry

I was trying to post both pens in a hurry. I did not use CA on this one just sanded to 2000 and then the Maquires polish. THanks for the advice on the backround I'll have to find something more neutral.

That is a nice slim. Looks like everything lines up great. She should love it.
