Haven't had much time for the past couple weeks for much of anything. I did manage to get a couple things turned late at night though. This is what they call M3 Black Gold. It's black Iron, brass, and gold leaf. Quoting from the manufacturers web site
"M3 (short for "MacroMolecular Metal") is a new composite material which is made with up to 95% of real metal that has been atomized down to the molecular level and combined with special chemical binders. M3 is an exciting new space age material that is just now being recognized for its remarkable beauty, strength and futuristic properties. Millions of dollars have been spent perfecting this material for other industries, pen blanks are just a bonus. The skin of the Space Shuttle, the Stealth Bomber and the International Space Station all contain examples of this remarkable new material. It is electronically depleted so that it will not conduct electricity or cause electrolysis allowing for new metal alloys that are just not possible in nature"
The pen kit is a "Retro" which I got from Laulauwood. They are a Daycom distributer. I think the 2 pair up real nicely. Probably my best pen to date. The stuff is hard to turn though and dulls tools within minutes. But I think it was worth it.
