Pearl Opal
Created by Bruce from Sth Qld purchased at the WWW in September.
It has a real opalescence and nearing Xmas according to the shops my floor in the workshop is covered in white ribbons.
I designed the pen to be easier to hold in the lower part the finish is like glass and I like the fact that you do not have to paint the tubes with his blanks.
The different views are to display some of the flashing colour.
Regards Peter.

Nice pen Peter, I picked up a few of his blanks at the local wood show... I saw that one after I had picked my five pack
It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

Very nice pen, pal. Again you've shown the way.
Bruce, in my books as officially a good bloke.

Peter you have done a top job of showing off the blank and your pen making prowess. It is satisfying to know people get as much enjoyment from turning the blanks as I get from making them.
Cheers

Very nicely done Peter!
I like the plastic that you don't have to paint the
inside of the blank as well as the tube.
Excellent fit and finish with great choice of kit and plating.

Very nice Peter well done
I like the grip you have turned I fined it more comfortable with something to grip at the tip of a pen
