    Default First Polaris

    Hi all
    Had to share this with you seeing as the 5 kits came to me in the UK from Australia at less than I can get 5 kits here!
    I really like the weight of these pens and the thickness but I'm not sure about the top part. Anyway this is a homemade resin - the first mix I made in my very brief three mix history so far!
    Comments welcome:



    Cheers

    Stewart

    Hi Furini

    Welcome to the forum.

    Great looking pen and nice home brew resin. You managed to get a good swirling effect in the resin.

    Great photography as well.

    Nice veining effect in the pour....I like light thin ones instead of the thick swirls...add a little class to the effect...for your first Polaris you did a excellent job matching kit and blank.

    Wow - thanks for the positive feedback, guys! I'll definitely be back with pictures of other pens I've made!
    Although I'm not that keen on the end I'm sure the weight and heft of the pen will come to hold enough attraction to make up for the top.
    Cheers
