Not sure about the shocking pink colour :thinks:
But it's nicely turned and finished :thumbs:
And the customer is always right, even when they aren't :wink::whistling:

Nice turning Mark but I'm not sure on the blank. However if they're selling then that's good.

Who are we to argue with the customer .. :pray: I think the choice of plating also helps the pen look good Mark, they go very well together .. :thumbs:

Looks pretty striking Mark - good to see a blank on a pen as well as in a catalogue. Did you paint the tube / inside of blank?

I looked at those last time I was in Mark though they didn't look quite so shocking in the hand I just couldn't bring myself to buy any. I have made a few pink ones and sold them all but kept them separate from my "normal" pens. :whistling:
Did you wear sunglasses while turning? :ciggrin:

Mark I know there is nothing wrong with your workmanship cos I got one of your's on me desk init?
I look forward to seeing another pink plastic pen, about as much as I look forward to becoming incontinent.
