Olive wood rollerball
Hi folks,
Here is a rollerball I made recently. It uses a gold Baron pen kit, and is wrapped in olive wood. I drilled and glued this blank ages ago (at least 6 months), but it looked really boring and fairly plain yellow from the outside. So I have never been that bothered with it. I was extremely happily surprised as I turned it down and discovered the grain pattern inside it!
Finished with CA and polished with micro-mesh.
Thanks for looking.
Simon.
