You know how sometimes you can get quite full of yourself and you think. "I'm on a roll, my pens look good, 'cause I've got a very refined aesthetic sense," and then you do something that just slaps that stuff right out of you? Well, welcome to my nightmare.
When I saw this material from Eugene, Four Color Opal, I thought it looked interesting and might make a good pen. Then I figured it would look good as a closed end pen with white accents, um... no. It looks like a baby shower gift.
So, in addition to it's relative unattractiveness, I also had a problem where the white finial on the lower section of the pen meets the body. You should be able to see in the photos, dark spots where the finial meets the body, and I have no idea what this is from. I used CA to glue the two sections together and then turned them as one piece. It's possible that this has been happening on my other pens, but since I usually use darker materials I haven't seen it before. Has anybody else seen this or know what it the cause is?
