Modified Streamline

[Alchemist]

It's been a bit since I posted a pen. It doesn't mean I have forgotten about you guys!!

I made this today.

It's a modified streamline kit with silver parts. I cut the lower barrel from 7mm stock at 2.5 inches. I used Ambrosia with Ebony and a slice of white plastic for the segmented.
Once turned to my liking, I sanded with 400 grit, a little bit of sanding sealer then Atchinsons paste and polish.

wiped it down with some 99% alcohol and CA glued it. Sanded lightly with 400 grit and hit the buffing wheels.

The site isn't letting me load all of the pictures. Hopefully, these two work.

Thanks!
Dave

That's a beautiful pen, and I am taking note of your finishing method... Results show it is effective.

Thanks for sharing.

Indeed, that is a gorgeous finish! A nice combination of materials, too.

Very nice finish. I definitely like the Ebony ring and white accent.

You have elevated the ordinary to a lovely looking pen.
Well done.

Yes, I did. I used Legacy Streamline parts from www.woodturners.com.

Yes, I did. I used Legacy Streamline parts from www.woodturners.com.

silverpenparts.com is run by Mike Redburn who is a member here and he sell solid sterling silver parts.

The link you gave doesn't work, but I found the legacy Streamline parts at The Woodturning Store

It is a nice looking kit.
