My first Acrylic pen. Turned at Paul Loseby's Saturday afternoon.
Finished to 12000 with Hut Acrylic polish and microcrystalline type wax.
regards,
Chris

And yet another nicely made pen Chris. Nothing wrong with that, that a lick of paint couldn't cure.

Brass was painted white and is not visible that I can see by looking at pen. The acrylic is very translucent has properties of mother of pearl. Turned a purple one before this and the tube was painted a dark red but the glue reacted with the paint so discarded that one.

Chris
