First "Juiced Up" Pen

[clieb91]

I bought a few blanks from TurnTex "MesquiteMan" at MAPG last year. Been overly busy with other stuff and decided to dig them out. Here is my first one...

Spalted Texas Pecan.

Looking forward to playing with more of these and perhaps picking up a few more this year.

Chris, great job on the pen! That is a nice blank. I didn't see that one at MAPG last year. I need to get into the ones I bought and get turning.

Chris,

Nice work on that blank.

I need to get into the ones I bought and get turning.

Ummm ... me too!

Great pen Chris! Was it dyed red or is that its natural color?

 

[Jim Burr]

Love the texture on that blank and the fact you left it a bit "natural"! How was your experience turning stabilized wood?

Great looking Blank Chris,
Matches well with the Finish of the Kit.
I see why you are excited about it.
Congratulations,
Brian.

Gorgeous pen! The blank has a striking red color and pretty grains. Great fit and finish. Great job!

Nice looking pen. Cactus juice is very versatile and you can get lots of effects from it. Great stuff I use it all the time to stabilize and to dye..
