This is an Executive kit in gunmetal, with a Rhino blank called Parrot Bay. I'll admit, I wasn't very impressed with the blank as I was turning it. But after I finished polishing it, wow! Another stunning Rhino blank!

It was rather blah as I was turning it. But polishing it really made it pop.

It's certainly got a nice shimmer to it. I nearly threw away a batch of blanks that I cast for the same reason. Looked bloody awful on the outside, but after turning one it was like a different blank.
