First pens

Lacewood, Macassar Ebony -oopsie that I saved, Rosewood, Birdseye Maple, Zebra wood, bloodwood & Acrylic. Some are finished with CA some with HUT turners polish.

Lot's of learning on this batch including blowout/patches, backwards bushings and brass tubes in the acrylic pen that make it "glow" with a golden tint - which is why I switched from my intended black titanium to a Gold pen kit... kinda looks neat if you don't know it's a mistake!

Very impressive, they certainly look a lot better than my first pens.

Ian,
Excellent job.

Some advice though. When turning acrylic, paint the tubes of the major color of the acrylic this way you will not see the slight gold of the tube. I've had great success doing this.
