A piece of Birdseye Elm on an Antique Brass GT Knurl Parker ballpoint I did up for my Grandson's graduation.
Turned to size, sanded 400 grit, applied 2 coats of MINWAX WBOM Clear Satin Polyurethane, applied Testors Clear Waterslide Decal, applied 10 coats of MINWAX WBOM Clear Satin Polyurethane using the "Dipping Method".

That is a lovely blank on a practical kit with a smashing finish and great photography.
But that graffiti just don't do it for me.
