First Color casting....

[TBCbushings]

Hey there fellows! I have done clear castings before but never colors.So this is my first one. I turned out good so far. I will turn it in the next few days to see what it really looks like! I think I used too much silver but this is the first time.....we ill see!

 

[Lenny]

It look like a winner from here!

Nothing wrong with that one and you never really know how it will look until you get it turned down.

 

[ZanderPommo]

looks good nice swirls!

 

[ToddMR]

Looks good to me too. Will be interesting to see what the turned product looks like.

 

[dgelnett]

That looks great. Question, I new to casting, how do you do the swirls or is that a secret?

 

[TBCbushings]

Here is the pen from my first color casting. Please comment good or bad.....I can take it....

Hey Brian, cut your losses and send that pen and all the rest of those blanks to me, to help you out, I'll even refund the postage, just to help a fellow turner out, you know. OK, enough of the lies, I can no longer hold a straight face or even type correctly. I truly hope my next try turns out half that beautiful. that will have me dancing in church and I am a Baptist. You should know what a NO, NO that would be. That pen turned out way good. Congratulations.
