Well, got my new lathe yesterday and turned a couple of pens.

Can't believe that the first thing I did was an acrylic ! :whistling:

I know it's pink but that's what the lady ordered. Blank is one of Mervs Flamingo Pink. Chrome kit from T/B, micromeshed all the way through, finished with Chestnut Burnishing cream.

Hi, Phil,
That's a nice pen - and with a nice blank! Good work! You probably know this already but in case you don't - Merv makes some nice, subtle blanks which are ideal for the Sierra range, seeing as how most of them are bought by/or for women. Take a look at his shop.
Bob.

Well done, keep it up and you will have allot of lady followers.. :thumbs::face:

Phill,

I have no predudices with Acrylic just loads of top timber horses for courses quite a creamy appearance with that swirl should be received well.

Kind regards Peter.
