1st PR home brew (Desert Lightning)

[maxman400]

My PR came in the mail yesterday, so I ran out to the shop grabbed my plastic cups and started mixing. It was then I notice that the PR was eating my cups, so I ran back in to the house to find some better cups. Then back to the shop to try and salvage my first mix. After I got it in better cups and mixed up, I put in the pot and aired it up to 60 psi and left it over night. After work I went to the shop fired up the lathe and this is what I ended up with.:biggrin:
Any comments or suggestions are welcome, thanks for looking.

Keep stirring it up in crappy cups because that is an awesome blank.

That came out looking great---can you duplicate it ?

 

[skiprat]

Hey!!! That is a very cool blank:biggrin:
Is it cactus or something or just the way you mixed it? Either way it looks really great:wink:

I must get me some of them cups if that whats happens. I find that I can only use cups once or twice. I made a mess one day using the same cup again.

Excellent casting - that is a great looking pen!

OH,Yes it does have a piece of cactus in it (my second attempt) After being up for 23 hours I forgot that detail, I was falling asleep at the computer while posting.

[thewishman]

Hope you remember how you did that one - it is beautiful!

That is awesome.

 

[mtgrizzly52]

That is intense! I'd love to turn blanks like that. Keep messing up and then share with us dummies who don't know how to do their own blanks! *LOL*

Sweet!
