I've wanted to do a chrome pen with all black body for a while now. I've also wanted to try a Glacia (Epsilon) pen. I finally killed two birds with one stone. The pen is obviously chrome and the blank is an Aquapearl from PSI called simply Jet Black. It's another soft blank that turned easily, and finished very nicely. I really like the simple looks of this pen, and yet it looks classy at the same time.

Classy like a tuxedo! This is a great combo Jim . Acrylics don't always have to be vibrant and shouty to look good. Sometimes it's best to let the kit do the talking otherwise there's just no cohesion and it ends up looking too busy. :thumbs:

Simple and elegant, although I'm not a personal fan of the front metal section of these kits, I find they look too...well.. bulky/front heavy. The black makes it look better than other version though, lovely shine to that finish :thumbs:
