    Default A couple of christmas pens

    Seasons greetings.

    Thought I would post photos of a couple of pens I made for christmas.

    Pen 1 was for a christmas themed swap on another site.
    The blank for this one was christmas glitter superglued to the tube then cast in clear resin and finished using micro mesh and plastic polish.

    Pen 2 was for a workmate who's birthday is christmas day
    The Blank here is a piece of figured cocobolo which I had recieved from the USA just before christmas. the finish is Rustins plastic cote

    Pen 3 was for another friend who's birthday was 27/12/10.
    This blank is Californian Redwood Burl blank, finished with Rustins again.

    Pen 4 is my first circuit board, again a present for a friend ( computer geek )

    The kit is a Knight pen from Timberbits, they use the same bushings as a Polaris pen kit
