    My first Acrylic Pen

    I made this for my Brother-in-Laws birthday. I love how your family thinks that you are superman when it comes to turning things. I took the picture in the sun so show off the sparkles.
    The blank is copper haze and the kit is Classic American rollerball both from Woodcraft.

    Good looking pen David! Lots of rich color! I am sure your brother-in-law will love it!

    Nice to have the family appreciate what you turn!

    Very nicely done. Acrylics are great to work with for you just turn sand alittle and polish and they are done. Nice color in that one.
