Vertex Magnetic Metal Cap Gold Kit Rollerball pen in Hex Section barrel.

Vertex Magnetic Metal Cap Gold Kit Rollerball pen in  Hex Section barrel:

 

This is another Hex-section pen I completed today. The kit chosen is Vertex Magnetic Metal Cap Gold Kit Rollerball.

 

As explained earlier , I used a previously turned and stabilized blank from stock and sanded it into a hex shape, the internal hole was expanded to fit the brass tube using a hand reamer.

 

This blank has three experiments done into it.

 

a) The hex shape was given a right handed skew to impart a twisted took.

 

b) Just prior applying the CA, I dyed the wood using fountain pen ink of pink colour.

 

c) A segmentation attempt with two wood types

 

 

 

Overall looks are not too bad, but the CA finish would have to be taken up again in future.
Admit I had run out of patience!

 

Here are some photos. Please let me have your comments.
