A Few Pens

Slight correction to my previous post. Ed does wet sand to 600 grit, but he jumps from 220 to 400. (I use 320 in the middle, and also use one finer grade of polish after the white diamond.) I found the video...it's here:

Here's an example of how a buffed piece looks...

Give it a whirl sometime when you get a chance...I think you'll like it.

I got the idea from a video Ed Davidson (YoYoSpin) has on the Web showing how he turns acrylic bottle stoppers. As I recall, he goes straight from wet 400 grit to the tripoli buff. I'll dig around and see if I can find the video.

By the way, what kit is the blue pen you posted the picture of above? I'm interested in getting into some higher-end kits. Any recommendations for good sellers?

The acrylic is called Mediterranean Seas on an Ultra Cigar Pen.

It's priced at $55.00, not a huge seller since it is a larger size pen!

Wow Vaughn, I didn't know you were a pen turner. Those are all beauties.

I have inspected some of these in person and they look even better than they do in the pictures. Nice work, Vaughn!

Thanks Mark. So what you're saying is my pictures basically suck, huh? :rofl:
