Thread: Jnr. Statesman Gold Leaf

That is stunning!

Top shelf stuff Amos

Gee Amos, you've been busy lately. This pen is spectacular in every way. The extra effort you put in to painting the tube etc has paid off. Where did you get the pen kit from ?, very classy !.
I actually have a bit of shed time myself today, in between taking my Grand daughter to the circus. Cheers.

what finish did you / do you use on your acrylics amos if i may ask? and its a beut. i havent turned anything embedded yet (i have a snake skin to do soon though) i hear the resign can get brittle, my heart woulda skipped beats, well done.

Neal.

Very nice Amos you are definitely on a roll

Beautiful looking blank and pen there Amos

I have a heap of gold and silver leaf from Thailand, and was thinking of giving casting them a try, just not sure it's just not better buying them made. I'm thinking there is probably a lot of learning to get the blanks looking that good, leaf is so fragile.

As for the finish, it is just micromesh right through to 12000, then car polish, Neil, I have just learnt that these are not genuine gold leaf, it is metal coloured to look like gold, if you have genuine gold leaf I need to be talking with you. Amos

Amos,

I have a watch I bought in 1985 not gold still looks great watch and band, although all that glitters is not gold who cares if the quality of my watch and your pen blank come out as flash as a rat with a gold tooth. The colour of gold is not restricted to the mining industry.

Just very impressed with your pen all round and about, NEVER UNDERSELL THAT PEN>
The same care was given as any other top quality product.

Give it a motza price it deserves one.

Kind regards Peter.
