Elegant Beauty

[bdar]

This Elegant Beauty is Blk TI and Platinum and has been dressed out in a piece of Tasmanian Eucalyptus Burl, which was then dyed green using U-Beauts water based dyes and then finished with CA. Comments welcome.

Darren I like this one a lot, it looks like resin well done.

David thank you for you comment. I guess it is the CA that gives it the resin look and feel, but at least i know it is durable as a finish. I have a work pen that is coming up to 5 years old and it is holding up well to the mistreatment it gets at work. The finish is as clear as the day it was applied and hasn't gone yellow like I have heard suggested it would after time. The dying process has been adapted over time to it's present form. I am very happy with this pen, I will have to find the photos of the blue one I did from the other half of the blank and post as well.

I like that one a lot. Beautiful dye job on the burl and that was a good choice for platings for the pen. Nicely finished as usual. :)

That is a very good looking pen, the eucy burl took the water based dye very well.
