Wood/Acrylic Pen
While I know it's probably been done many times before, I decided to try combining wood & acrylic for a pen. Here's the result. (Still working on the polish)
(I know it's not exactly pen turning but I was interested to try a Perfume Spray Kit and it's similar to pen turning)Cheers all !!

What Stirlo said.
The acrylic is a surprisingly good match with the timber and the white banding really sets it off!
The only criticism I have... the perfume applicator should've had a matching band so you had a very, very sellable ladies' set.
(And IMHO perfume applicators, keyrings and similar items turned on a mandrel have every right to be in the pen turning threads as they're the perfect pen set accessories.)
Query: what timber? Burl?

thanks Guys, Timber is Goldfields Burl, and I agree, I wanted to turn a blue band but the only Acrylic I had was one for pens, which only had about 1/2 mm on the rough so I would have had a b........d of a jog trying to get enough to turn & polish.
But I agree it would have been good to match them. (The white banding was from a Credit Card (my wife's)..........(thanks for the tip Toni).Cheers all !!

G'day Bruce,
Great job on the pens. I too like the mix. Very elegant. I think one of those butterfly pens would be really cool done with a similar method.
Cheers,
Rick
