    My First Acrylic

    Here is my first Acrylic. It is a Christmas gift for someone. I got the blank from flexi a while ago, thanks Mark, and I have always been a bit reluctant to turn it. After seeing some absolutely stunning work from you guys I decided to give it a try and WOW am I glad I did. I enjoyed it so...

    Next job....

    Hi all, Four nice wet blanks that I cut today. Going to wet turn them this afternoon, put them in a bag with shavings and leave for a while. Hopefully they will turn out ok as, I think, the grain looks great. I think they're Oak, but not too sure. I though Corona was a drink ...... Cheers...

    Made a start on my haul of bits

    Well turned this today again not a fantastic blank but I turned it a lot faster than my previous ones. Didn't crater as much but still sanded wet from 180 through the wet n dry grades and finished with micro mesh and buffed with blue towel.

    Another acrylic pen

    Managed to get in the shed again, happy with the result using a fancy slimline from penkitzandbitz. Tried wet and dry then micro mesh and though not perfect I think it's better than my first attempt.

    Dull acrylic finish?

    A friend of mine prefers a dull finish on his pens. Is here a method for doing this besides wet sanding without polishing? I'm afraid it might leave visible scratches.
