Another Gunmetal Alpha Rollerball dressed in black to burgandy

[billyb_imp]

Last one of these for the weekend, this one another of Dan's Alphas, gunmetal kit dressed in another Mervyn Cadman blank black to burgundy

The bottom photo shows the 4 pens recently made up and hopefully shows the changing colour effect. These blanks of Mervyns are excellent, turn & finish well and are a little different to that what's available elsewhere.

Now that the end of acrylic turning (or plastic as some might say) for a week or so, better find something else to turn before I get a call from the "wood police"

As always Billy, excellent, well turned and finished that man.

Some beautiful pens there Billy, as usual. I suppose you'll be away to wet your whistle now to get rid of the dust.

 

[Dalboy]

Four very nice pens Billy.

I think I still have a Hawian Blue blank of his in the draw to turn

No Bill, back down the shed prepping 6 blanks (wood) for a few Tempest's, hopefully will get them drilled with tubes glued in.

Nicely done.

Another nice one Billy, as usual with a great finish.

I agree I do like Merv blanks for kit pens, great colours and takes a finish really well.

 

[Penpal]

Shining new pens Billy. I will have to raise my vacuum above the lathe it is picking up lightweight plastic when I do turn it.

Four rippers there mate. Sweet blanks.

Peter.

Fantastic finish on them bad boys

 

[Treeesa]

Very impressed with them all - my comment would be and I suspect this is how the kit comes but would the gunmetal look better if the finial was also in gunmetal ? And maybe the rhodium in rhodium?

Also to Billy as I've yet to make one of these (but now looking to soon) - do you have a favourite ie gunmetal over rhodium ?
