C u later alligator 2
Well Chris Burgess aka JustTurnin, warned me about voids and the hardness of these blanks, and he was right. This Gator proved more of a handful than my first, if I knew what I know now, I would have painted the tube and inside the blank, the first one being black didn't matter, but red is more transparent!!
Anyway,it is done now and open to your comments, thanks Amos

WOW Amos, the effort you put into this pen was worth it !. Ghoulish, macabre, the pen of the living dead, ha ha, LOVE IT. Next time you need a big job done at your dentist, swap him the pen for the dentistry work.
I never forget anything I remember !!

Excellent !!
Blood Red after having its teeth removed, seeing into the voids seems to give the cavities some depth, I like it
Cheers
Tony.

I think I can see the tube the whole way through, or is that just the photo? If so, bummer, it would be a reject for me.
With these expensive blanks and expensive kits, I always paint the tubes and/or blanks, just to ensure it don't get the problem.Neil____________________________________________Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new

WOW Amos
That's a specular pen you have there. Beautiful blank and beautiful finish.
I think Red paint would work better than black in this case.
Thanks for sharing

Neil, yep , you can see the tube, however, some like it like that!!!!! (I hope). But I know for next time, the black one I did deceived me into doing it as it was instead of painting.!!! Amos
