Here are a pair of Statesman pens made with white pearl acrylic.
This is lovely stuff to turn, its so white[8D], but a PITA to try and photograph.[:I]
Painted both tubes and blanks with nail varnish.

Nice work Andrew!!

That material is great for wedding pens. In the USA, Ken Nelson engraves them, with gold "fill" - the finished product is really nice.

You probably want an engraver in Europe, but you guys may already know of one.
 
Very nice work Andrew!!!

Speaking of wedding pens, are you ignoring my email?!? [:p]
My eldest little girl is getting married in June [^] and I'm going to need to
make her and her fiance Burke some pens.

Derek, it wasn't his wifes[}:)]

Looks very sharp Andrew. Did the nail varnish get softened like paint often does when hit with the CA ( I assume thats what you used )?
And did you have to drill a bigger hole to make up for the nail varnish? The pics are damn good too BTW
 
Many thanks for the comments folks.[:)]
Steven, how did you know it wasn't my wifes nail varnish.[:p][;)] It did soften slightly with the CA but not much, i normally use epoxy but i haven't got any at the moment. The holes are very slightly bigger also.
