Thread: Solarno finished in Cellulose Acetate

I had my reservations on the architecture of Mr Dart’s latest creation but the reality was different from the web pictures. I used some cellulose actetate that I’ve had a while, and after the issue of how to increase the id of the predrilled hole had been overcome the material proved to be fabulous.

The mechanism on this pen is the smoothest I have ever come across, it’s a lovely kit, I’ve got about fifty of these acetate rods so will be making more of these in the near future.

Very nice Neil drilled and turned a lot of that stuff as you say ready nice to turn n finish

All class Neil,now very trendy as well.

Have to agree, that's lovely stuff to turn and takes a beautiful finish...Mr Dart does think his kits through, not bought any yet but I have high hopes when I do...
As always mate lovely collection of pens, really nice jackets on all

Gave the pens to the marketing department and she did a better job on the photos!!!

Sorry Neil You're right she has done a much better job

All joking aside I am slightly confused, have you used a pre-drilled resin blank that you have drilled a bigger hole through and then finished it with CA?

Doh!!!

I have just realised Cellulose Acetate is not CA, My bad sorry

Well they all look smashing!
