First go at Acrylic

[ajmw89]

As the title says. First dabble with acrylics. Much prefer working wood, but I love the figuring on this!
Hope I've done it justice!

That looks a very good first attempt can we see a photo of the pen out of the box as it looks a bit dark and we cant see the pen clearly

Well done Alan, a very good first effort. I like this coloured acrylic, how it goes from dark to a light in patches ..

 

[ajmw89]

Yeah, if it catches the ligbt right it has a brilliant metallic blue hue

Nice one Adam, a great first attempt

Looks better in the added picture ADAM.. Noticed a few radial lines on the pen tho, could be picture or not quite polished the sanding lines out enough..

No worries Adam, it's the oldies, the smell of CA has taken its toll over the years. Bit like the mad hatters of the pen making world....

Nice looking pen Adam, looks good for first attempt.
Acrylic is tougher on the chisels so make sure you sharpen after use.

Don't worry about the geriatrics who cant remember your name. They are all honorary members of the "Plonker" club anyway :wink:
