since it was a boring rainy day i decided to turn this rattlesnake pen ive had for about 15 years collecting dust. the pen is a gun metal cigar pen. this should make the duck happy ?
here is what the blanks look like. the skin is already wrapped around the inner tube encased in the acrylic blank ready to turn. sanded down to 800 grit then water polished with micro mesh.
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
Damn Pottz... gotta give you "E" for effort! Pulled your R's out of the P 's and Q's with that cigar.
How'd you manage to keep that blank away from what is claimed as the global elements? I checked out my 15 YO blank, that has not been subjected to a full vino impregnated "human" bladder. I then dragged out my python, and compared a 2017 pickie with todays, That yellowing (assuming UV) is worrysome.
BTW, nothing worse than buggering up a snakeskin blank too hard to find a matching Python (my snakeskin) replacement in my back yard to fix it... only found rattlesnakes and cobras with the local browns and tigers hiding in fear... how did I recover?.. I did, but I'm not here to teach😉😉😉.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
