    Default 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.

    just like in Aladdin mate - A Diamond In The Rough

    you never know whats on the inside until you take the time to find out

    your exploring paid off with a lot of character and a great looking pen
